The smoker today WILL grumble IL his
rights are not respected: the smoker Of a
few decades ago had no rights to respect.
An extract from magazine article pub
lished i'm 1869 reflects a widespread view
of smoking of which few echoes are heard
now. 1t relates to two ministers of the
gospel. both inveterate smokers. and
reads: when they travel they carefully
stow away their wives and babies In the
regular passenger car while they repair
to the smoking car to enjoy their favorite
weed and the company of all the black
legs and loafers on the train. At the pub
lie hotels their families have access to
the parlors, while they are driven to the
filthy barrooms. The society into which
their baleful habit throws them is almost
invariably pernicious, and the habit itself
is a perpetual stumbling block in all their
efforts to lead others in the better way.
Tobacco Users in the Majority.
Perhaps an argument against smoking
on moral grounds might be made today
with equal earnestness by the foes of to-
bacco, of which there are still many, but
the picture of ministers of the gospel
driven to filthy barrooms to indulge in
the pleasure of smoke reflects strikingly
and no doubt accurately. the attitude of
society toward the smoker in days gone
by. The poor man met with much in
tolerance. even If his good wife did not
dash bucket of water over him to put
out a fire that savored to her of the in
fernal regions.
Now societys attitude toward the
smoker is one of marked tolerance. The
man who plays the part OF the villain in
a melodrama is no longer the only actor
who has a smoking part on the stage.
and the hero of a popular novel who does
not smoke is the exception rather than
the rule.
Those who do not smoke generally envy
the pleasure that smokers seem to have,
and the smoker. though he longs to quit,
believes the pleasure is worth the price.
What does Washington's fifty-eight-foot
cigar cost? A million dollars? No. All
the tobacco used in a month here costs
its users about $2J0.0O0

A telegram was received in New
Castle yesterday by J.. w. Ritter, an
the finding of the body of
Taylor in the Arkansas river at
point Just below Canon City.
Taylor left New Castle about four
months ago for Denver. where he
expected to receive medical treat
ment, and, nothing more was heard
from him by his friends at New Cas-
tie until this message was received
yesterday.
There seems to have been some
mystery surrounding Taylors stay in
Denver. While in Kansas City some
months ago Taylor was sandbagged
and robbed. He never completely
recovered from the injuries he re-
ceived at the hands of the holdups.
and it was to receive treatment for
these injuries that he went to Den
yer. 1t is known that he always
carried a large amount of money on
his person. He would not trust the
banks, and often buried sums of
money on his ranch near New Cas-
tie. He was considered a very
wealthy man. He was never mar

Taylor frequently visited Grand
Junction.
How Taylor came to lose his life
in the Arkansas river is not known:
but some of his New Castle friends
believe that he was slugged and
robbed on the train the night he left
New Castle for Denver four months
ago and that his body was thrown
off the train at a point near Canon
City and into the river. 1t is report
ed that at the time Taylor went to
Denver he had over $1,000 on his
person.
Taylor carried always an identifi-
cation card on his body, and it is be-
lieved that the finding of this card
by those who discovered the body
in the river led to the Identification

With a worldwide reputation for
hospitality and good cheer, the mem

maintained this reputation for this
city and in fact for all of western
Colorado year after year, SO that a
good time at the Elks ball and ban

February 6, 1901, in the Park opera
house. In all the social history of
the city up to that time no attempt
had ever been made to entertain on
so large and elaborate scale as at
that time. For that celebration
there were present guests and Elks
from almost every city and town
from Pueblo to Salt Lake City, and
all records of social events were
broken by that celebration, and
thereafter all things of a social ma
ture took their beginning from that
date.
Since that time there have been
eight celebrations by the Elks, the
