DENVER MARKETS

+ Denver Union Stock Yards. July 13.
Trade here last week was somewhat
dull on account OF unfavorable adj
vices from the eastern markets and
prices closed 15c to Csc lower on the
general run Of stun. Good Middle
Park steers sold early in the week at
$5.65 but later a pretty good grade of
North Park steers went at $5.25 with
some good South Parkers at $3.50 and
prices ranging all the way from this
down to $40 on some just fair Ari-
zonas. Choice North Park COWS sold
at $3.50 early in the week but later
most Of the fair to good kinds went
at s3.35 to $3.50, a bunch of good Ore
gon cows bringing the latter price.
Bulls were lower at $2.25 to $2.75 for
bulk. veals also little lower with
most Of the good ones at $3.50 to $5.25.
The demand for beef stun was very
fair at prevailing prices and a very
good clearance made from day to day
Feeder and stocker trade was of small
volume as demand and supply were
both small. Pricea remain much the
same as a week ago on the good stun
but common grades are weak to lit
tie lower.
Hog supply was only 1900 head last
week, which is the smallest weeks run
here since the week beginning Octo-
Der %. 1906. The demand was much
better than supply and prices are
higher than week ago. Bulk of the
hogs sold Saturday at s6.45@6.5O.
Sheep trade was light as very few
were offered. Demand was fair and
the market firmer than week ago.
Fair to good ewes brought s4.O0 and
wethers sold at S4.75.

Beginning in 1896. he spent part of

Prof. A. Lawrence Lowell, In his
new and elaborate treatise on the
government OF England. explains how
and why it is that the rule of the up
Per classes is still as popular with the
great mass Of the English people ~ 1t
is to-day. 1t is due. he tells US. to the
popular respect which the representa-
tive men Of the upper CLASSES COM
mand by a generally unstained reputa-
tion for probity of character. There
are exceptions, of course. but as =
rule they maintain a clean and upright
standing. II this reputation were to
be seriously impaired. the ruling class
would be promptly swept from power.
1t is high character and the popular

The American Ldfesaving society.

The Cheap show EviI.

The action Of the council last night
IN refusing to renew q license for a
moving picture show Of which serious
complaints had been made proves that
the aldermen have the proper view Of
this subject. asserts the Duluth
(Minn.) Evening Herald. The cheap
shows which have swarmed into all
cities in the past few years have
given rise to considerable annoyance
and have caused city authorities more
trouble than they are worth. As a
rule they are located in cheap, flimsy
buildings. where there is great danger
.of fire, and even greater danger of
panic in case Of false alarms OF IRE.
Exits are few and difficult and fire pro-
lection inadequate. Besides, there is
Ia constant temptation to stimulate In
iferest in these AFFAIRS by the introduce
ition Of obscene pictures, and the ex-
lpectation of this draws very undesir-
able class Of patrons. making many Of
these places centers Of grave social
dangers. There is no reason why reg
julations for the protection of audi
lences should be less rigid in these
lplacss than in larger theaters. There
should always be plenty OF exits, and
the requirements as to fire protection
should be ample. Especially important
Is the necessity of guarding against
panic. Last Saturday in St Paul the
hickering of picture films in the dark
caused a false alarm of fire at a NOV
dng picture show, and a catastrophe
was narrowly averted. These places.
which are unwelcome features of city
life at their best should be watched
carefully. This is the tendency every
where. Chicago In one day recently
wiped out fifty of its cheap shows.

SHOT BROTHER
SAVED MOTHER
BERT FISHER ATTAcKs HIS
MOTHER AND JAMES FISH
ER KILLS HIM.
LONG POLICE RECORD
MOST PATHETIC TRAGEDY THAT
DENVER HAS KNOWN FOR
YEARS.

Denver.-Threats to kill his entire
family after seven years Of alleged
brutal abuse of his aged mother and
seventeen-year-old invalid sister. was
the straw that broke the camel's back
for Bert Fisher Sunday. James Fish
er, his twenty-year-old brother, fired
two shots into his body, fatally wound
ing him as he started forward to strike
the shrinking form of his mother
Fisher is at the County hospital fatally
wounded
The tragedy Is the elimination of
years OF brutal conduct on the part
Of Bert Fisher, head of the family
since his father died seven years ago.
Fisher has a police record and his
photograph is in the rogue's gallery.
The younger brother has often times
attempted to prevent mistreatment of
his mother and sister. but shrank from
violence.
Time after time when Bert was in
jail on charges of theft. Mrs. Fisher
has sacrificed pride and often the ne
cessities of life to free him, only to re-
ceive as reward blows. curses and
heartless treatment at the hands of a
thankless child. Even now she Is at
Bert's bedside in the hospital assist
ing nurses and physicians and praying
that he may survive.
James Fisher is heartbroken over
the tragedy, betraying in his broken
speech love for the brother he was
forced to shoot down like a noxious
animal.
The shooting occurred in the kitch-
en- at 1875 Ogden street at 2: Is O'Clock
Sunday efternoon.
Throughout Saturday night and un-
til near dawn the older brother re-
mained in the home. threatening to kill
every member of the family. and it
was only the interference of Walter
Dockary. tourist from Amarillo, Tex
as, which prevented a tragedy. Leav-
ing at 4 o'clock Sunday morning he
threatened to appear again in the af-
ternoon and conclude his years Of
abuse with the death of the entire fam
lily. Mrs. Fisher and her son James
were about to leave their home for the
police station when the brother ap-
peared at the rear door. He began
cursing the mother. With vile7nafne
he made for her. James. who had been
standing back some feet. saw him
start for mis- mother and Jerking a re-
volver from his pocket. fired three
shots. one of them passing through the
fleshy part of the lower left forearm.
The wounded brother turned to run.
Again he fired and the ball pierced
the fellow beneath the right shoulder
blade and lodged in the right breast.
The third shot went wild. The wound
ed man ran three blocks to Eighteenth
and Emerson, where he was found and
hurried to the County hospital. The
ambulance, loaded with patrolmen and
detectives. was rushed to the scene.
James Fisher did not attempt to es-
cape. He was arrested and is charged
with intent to murder. The mother
and sister are Frustrated.
Bert Fisher. twenty-three years old.
has long police record. He was
sent to Buena Vista reformatory in
1904 for assaulting and robbing Rob
ert Irwin, who later died from his
wounds
The tragedy Sunday afternoon is
The most pathetic which has come to
the notice of the police for years

CHICAGO SITS UP
IN Abatement
AT COOPER
Young 0hioan Playing Hob In
Western Metropolis
BURST INTO TEARS or Joy
Demonstrations BY Medical Wizard
Bring Happiness To Persons Who
Hadn't Heard IN Years.
BURST INTO TEARS or JOY

Chicago, Feb 19.-0n Wednesday af-
ternoon some remarkable demonstra-
tons were given in public by L. T.
Cooper, who is introducing for the first
time in Chicago the preparations
which created sensation in eastern
cities.
The demonstrations took place al
Mr.. Cooper's headquarters and were
witnessed by several hundred people
AS nearly as could be learned the facts
were these:
At 8 o'clock in the afternoon the
young man agreed to show what one of
his remedies would do for deafness and
agreed to make anyone present who
was afflicted with deafness hear again
in less than three minutes.
There were many deaf people pres
tnt and about dozen of these were
given the demonstration, consisting of
a single application of one of the
Cooper preparations.
The hearing of these people was
then, tested after an interval of be-
TWEEN two and three minutes. The test
consisted of questions put to them in
an ordinary conversational tone at
distances varying from five to thirty
feet.
The results were remarkable i'm the
extreme. Some of thes pople who
wre treated had been deaf for a mum.
Der of years. When the first question
was asked, look of amazement would
spread over their faces and they would
forget to answer the question. AS the
questions were repeated the surprised
look would give way to one of delight.
Many were so affected that they burst
into tears and were scarcely able to
answer the question.
In no single instance, SO far as could
be learned. would an individual fail to
hear. Many were able to hear finger
snap at distance of thirty feet. AT
the request OF Mr.. Cooper, questions
were put to them by their friends, OF
by various spectators, In an ordinary
tone of voice. and the questions were
readily answered.
In giving an account of these demon
strations, Mr.. Cooper said:
The preparation used is not the one
with which | accomplish most. as my
New Discovery, as it is called, and tC
which owe my success, Is for the
treatment of all forms of stomach
trouble and the general breaking down
Of the system that follows in the wake
of diseases of this character.
The stomach is the seat of great
many troubles, for instance. my rene
dy will relieve thousands of people oil
rheumatism in this city, simply by get
ting the stomach In working order"
Many people seen who were presen,
at this demonstration assert positively
that Cooper undoubtedly made these
deaf people hear again.
