KILLED WIFE AND CHILD.
A Degenerate at Denver Wanted to Be
Free to Go With Another Woman.

Denver.-For the love of another
woman, and she with a police record
as professional thief, Benjamin c..
Wright, the police claim, coolly muir
dered his wife and five-year-old daugh-
ter with a mysterious but quick-act-
ing poison, and then feigned a coma
tose condition all day yesterday to
avoid the discovery Of his CHASTITY
crime His mind still possessed of the
horror of his deed, Wright is said to
have confessed the double murder,
telling Chief of Police Delaney, in the
presence of witnesses, weird, grew
some tale, rambling in construction.
barren of detail, but illuminated with
the reiterated acknowledgment that
he was responsible for the extermipa-
tion of his family.
The dead bodies of Mrs. Wright and
her five-year-old daughter were found
lying on the floor of the bathroom of
their four-room home, at 374 South
Pearl street, early yesterday morning.
The husband and father was lying
near, unconscious and seemingly
barely breathing, when the police am
bulance arrived. None Of the bodies
showed any signs of the manner of
their death, and quick poison, leaving
no trace behind, such as cyanide OF
potassium, Is believed to have been
used. Wright refuses to divulge the
drug, and it is believed he is protect
ing someone else.
Making stronger the proofs OF guilt
against him, Wright admits the infatu-
alton for Stella Good. police charac-
ter.

FREIGHT RATES CUT.
A Change That Is Expected to Help
Denver Jobbers.

Denver.-More important for some
reasons than any rate reduction which
the railroads into Denver have yet
made. was the readjustment an
bounced by the Burlington, affecting
200 stations where Denver products
are sold, and opening up to local manu-
facturers the long-coveted Black Hills
territory.
General Freight Agent c. e. Spens
OF Omaha, and General Agent j. F.
Vallery of this city. called on Thomas
Scott, secretary Of the Colorado Manu-
facturers' Association yesterday and
informed him that they intended to
re-adjust their freight rates in favor Of
Denver to all points on their lines as
inr east as Holdredge, Nebraska, as
Far north as the Montana state line, in
cluding the stations on the Guernsey
branch, and, most important of all, as
far north as Spearfish, South Dakota,
II the Black Hills territory around
Deadwood. To the cities in the latter
territory Denver is given differential
under the Missouri towns OF Is cents
on first and second class goods and 10
cents on third and fourth class. For
example, the rate on first class goods
from Omaha to Deadwood is S1.45,
while from Denver to Deadwood it will
in future be only $1.30. The rates ap-
ply from Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo and will go into effect April lst.

Great English Coliseum.

The athletic stand that will be
erected in England for the Olympic
games next year will seat 100000 peo-
pie. At Athens the Stadium seated
100000 The English stands will be the
greatest building of the kind ever
erected. 1t will seat four times az
many as the ancient Coliseum at Rome.
At the English derby, the greatest
sporting event of the world, they some
times have 100000 spectators, but only
few of these are seated. At least
half the number are scattered over
the hills within the race track and for
a mile up and down the course. This
gigantic preparation for the Olympic
games of 1908 shows how amateur
athletic sports have grown in popular
ity during the past few years.

u. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-nd.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh7 Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity suca a catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients OF
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca-
tarrh of the liver and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic organs.
It Is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, Is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as stomachic and as
a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispen satory as mild stimulant and
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. 1t acts as stimu-
liant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
entery and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to us for free book of testimo-
malls of what the people think of Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from tho
disease which is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return with
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
beautiful home at S11 Boulevard
West. Detroit, Mich. suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
"My trouble began about six years
ago and l did not rest as l should
ha -e, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time l became so
weak l could not do any work at all.
/ had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times saw black
spots before them. l consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
Eenefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
81 lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when friend recommended DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills. I tried them ac-
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end of three
months had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble VITA
my nerves. have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend DR.. Williams Pink Pills"

all druggists, or sent postpaid. on re-

DRY FARM EXPERIMENTS
To Be Tried by the Government in
South Dakota.

Belle Fourche.-The Department Of
Agriculture has decided to establish
two experimental farms in western
South Dakota, one under the national
irrigation project near this city and the
other in a non-irrigated region for the
purpose OF showing what can be ac-
compliShed In the way of dry farming.
This latter farm will be located not far
from the Cheyenne river in Fall River
county, and will demonstrate what
crops can best be grown upon such
lands and what methods are the most
successful.
Dry farming has been carried on with
great success In many parts of western
South Dakota The farm near here
will demonstrate the proper use OF
water on irrigated lands, the proper
crops to put in and the methods Of cul-
tivation. Owing to the large influx Of
settlers at present from various parts
of the country, most of whom are un.
familiar with this section. these farms
and their demonstrations will be Of es.
pecial value.

sUB-TREAsUURY RoHeEp.
Sum Of $4,000 Disappears at Chicago
and Clerks Suspected.
Chicago.-The Tribune says:

Chicago.-The Tribune says:
One of the largest-if not the largest
-thefts from the United States treas.
ury has been unearthed in Chicago.
There was q theft of $4,000 from the
local sub-treasury last week. The
money has disappeared as completely
as II 1t had vanished from the face of
the earth.
The authorities here and in Wash
ington have been working night and
day on the robbery since 1t was dis
covered
Chief Wilkie of the United States Sc.
cret service has been keeping in
formed by telephone and telegraph of
every development. and he will leave
Washington to-day to take personal
charge of the investigation.
Secretary Shaw of the Treasury De
partment was told of the gigantic theft
when in Chicago last week and was in
conference with Sub-Treasurer William
Boldenwick and secret service officials.
The money was stolen either a week
ago Saturday, the next day, or last
Monday. The chances are it was alb
stracted Monday. The loss was dis
covered Tuesday.
All the money taken was in bills of
the denomination of $1,000, $4,000 and
$4,000.
After a week of searching investiga-
ton, Saturday there came glimmer
Of light. A faint clew pointed in the
direction of a certain clerk, and that,
following up, directed the finger of sus-
picion to another employe, a close as
sociate of the first man.
These men were summoned into the
inquisition chamber and one at last
broke down.
Among those under surveillance is
George w. Fitzgerald, who was in
charge of the teller's cage from which
the money was distracted, but he In
sists he has no knowledge of how the
money disappeared. Fitzgerald, in a
statement tonight, said he thought
some of the employees had stolen the
money. He declared it would have
been an easy matter for any of the
twenty-five or thirty employees, who un-
der the present system have daily ac-
cess to his cage, to make away with
thu money without his knowledge.

Contest Begun Between Central Amer
lean States.

City of Mexico.-Dr. Baltarazar Es
tupariani, minister to Mexico from Sal
vador and Honduras, tonight received
the following vague message from the
Honduran government
Nicaragua forces have invaded
Honduras. Frierce battle ensued."
When the battle was fought, where
the encounter took place, and what
was the ultimate result of the reported
struggle is left to conjecture.
This is the first word the minister
has received from Honduras for sew
eral days, although he has sent several
cablegrams of inquiry.
Details of the battle are hourly ex-
pected.
New York, Feb. 24.-The Associated
Press to-day received the following DIS
patch:
"Managua, Nicaragua, Saturday.
Feb. 23, $50 p. m.-We went to war
because Honduras forces attacked our
small garrison on the frontier, looting,
burning and killing. We demanded
satisfaction and it was denied; we
agreed to accept whatever decision the
arbitration court might render, but
President Bonilla of Honduras dis
solved the court by withdrawing the
Honduran arbitrator.
Nicaragua has triumphed in four
combats over the Honduran forces
without suffering one defeat. Our
forces are to-day in the territory Of
Honduras.

Cancer Cured by Herbs.

Welsh papers have been telling OF
late tales of wonderful cures of cancer
effected by two brothers named Evans
by means of herbs at Cardigan. DR..
Hugh Biddle was commissioned by the
Daily Mail to investigate. He reports:
'For more than twenty years these
humble practitioners have been treat.
ing all kinds of external diseases with
ointments and salves made entirely
from herbs. The brothers live very
unpretentiously on their farm, about
two miles from Cardigan. At present

BAD WRECK BUT NO DEATHS.
Miraculous Escape of Passengers In
Pennsylvania.

Johnstown, Pa.-When the Pennsyl
vaIia special, the famous eighteen-hour
New York-Chicago train of the Penn
sylNania railroad, was wrecked at
Mineral Point, seven miles east OF
here. at midnight Friday, none of the
passengers were killed, and but one
probably fatally injured. The train
crew also escaped serious injury. Prac-
tically all of the fifty-four passengers
upon the train were more or less hurt.
The escape of the occupants of the
train from death seemed little less
than miraculous. The train was run
ming at the speed of more than fifty
miles an hour when the last three cars
of the train, Pullman sleepers, sud
denly left he rail. They turned over
twice and then slid down the sixty-foot
embankment into the Conemaugh
river. The cars went through the heavy
ice, but there was so little water in the
river that there was no danger OF
drowning.
The wreck, It is thought, was caused
by the dropping of the brake rigging
upon The first sleeper following the To-
conotive and combination car. The
rigging lodged under tie, derailing
the following cars. The locomotive
and con- nbination car remained upon
the track.
Relief trains were at once dis
patched from Johnstown. Altoona and
Pittsburg. Eight injured ones were
taken to the Altoona hospital and four
were sent to Pittsburg. The other pas
sengers with insufficient clothing, shiv
ering. many with nothing to cover
them but blankets and bed clothing
were also sent to Pittsburg. The rail
road company supplied them with food,
medicine and clothing and sent them
on west on a special train.

'BUCHTEL SPEAKS
URGES REPUBLICANS TO FULFILL

THEY MUST KEEP FAITH
The Governor Calls Attention to the
Fact That Seven Weeks Of the Ses-
sion are Gone and Nothing Done.


Denver.-Governor Buchtel has writ
ten the following letter TO the Repub-
lican members of the Legislature:
ITO the Republican Members Of the
House and Senate:
"Gentlemen-The pledges we made
10 the people on our state platform
were explicit and definite. On this
platform l worked like dray horse,
from the goth of September to the 9th
Of November l said to all the people
in every part OF the state that this Ian
guage was to be understood as the
sincere pledge of honest men who de-
sired to do something for the public
good. ! said to the people on the au-
shcrity of this platform: If you will
elect this Republican ticket from top to
lotion, we will make such a record of
constructive legislation as has never
before been known in Colorado The
people believed me. They did elect
our ticket. 1t is now our business to
keep faith with the people.
About seven weeks of the session
OF the Legislature have now passed.
approximately five weeks of the ses-
sion remain. Down to this day we have
not made good on one of these pledges.
| appeal to you in the name of the peo-
rie to put through this program in
every detail. We must make good, or
the people will wipe the Republican
party off the map at the next election.
If we keep all our pledges both in let
ter and in spirit we may reasonably ex-
pect that the people will be glad to
continue the Republican party in
power.
I'VE ought to have frequent meet
ings to agree on the details of our pro-
gram. 1t is your business to make the
laws. | hope 1t may please you to
confer with me about the main fea-
lures of laws which you agree upon in
caucus, for two reasons: First, because
[ went everywhere making promises to
the people in working for the whole
ticket. Second. because the laws you
enact must be approved by me. It is
therefore fair and reasonable to expect
that we shall all be eager to get to-
eether and stick together for the honor
of the Republican party and for our
own honor as men of integrity.
with the utmost courtesy, / am,
Yours for the good of all Colorado,
