o'BRIE BACK FROM LINCOLN

Platform with Mr.. Bryan.

Platform with Mr.. Bryan. e.
DENVER, July 4-Thomas ID. o'Brien,
one of the big four delegates from
Minnesota an da staunch supporter of
Governor Johnson of hat state for the
presidency, reached Denver today after a
prolonged conference in Lincoln yesterday
with Bryan which was held at the lat
ter's request. The fact that Mr.. Bryan
should seek a meeting with one of Gov
ernor Johnson's principal adherents has
given rise to no little speculation. but Mr..
O'Brien gave assurance hat the interview
was without special significance. lie said
that he and Mr.. Bryan had been friends
for many years and mad the point that
II was not at all unnatural that the Ne
braska candidate should desire to see him
on the eve of the convention. He distated
the following statement:
Mr.. Bryan and 1 discussed the platform
to be adopted by the demoeratic conven-
ton, but confined ourselves principally
to the question as how far the activities
of the federal government could DC eX-
tended without interfering with the pow
ers reserved to the various states, mis- idea
being that there might be cooperation
without curtailing the powers of the
states. In the course Of the conversation
reference was made to the subject of a
candidate for the vice presidency. l told
Mr.. Bryan that If Governor Johnson failed
to receive the nomination for president
he was absolutely adverse to being con-
sidered a candidate for vice president UNI
der any circumstances Mr.. Bryan did not
attempt to urge a contrary view nor did
he express any preference for anyone as
a vice presidential candidate"

Many Benehts Received.
We are not insensible to the benefits Of
the great public school system; nor OF
railroads and public improvements that
nave been -iraugurated by and with the
can people. Yet, while the United states
has done so much for us, SO much that
Will make for the security and Stablllty OF
prosperity in the future, there IS one
thing that could have been done, which,
If done, would have prevented much
suffering and disaster that has Overtaken
a large body of our agricultural popula-
ton. We refer to the removal Of the
tariff barriers Of the United states from
products of the Philippine Islands.
While sections of the archipelago that
yield hemp, copra and rice have continued
during recent years under a fair measure
Of prosperity, the country has lacked the
stimulus OF the capital, and the producers
of many articles, notably sugar, have
labored under conditions that precluded
success, and during the present year the
low prices that have prevailed for hemp
and copra, together with a partial failure
Of the rice crop, have Frustrated industry
and precipitated an acute economic crisis.
We earnestly direct our attention to
these facts: That while it is true that
labor in our fields is poorly paid, there is
good reason why it cannot be better paid.
The same law that applies to and controls
other industries applies also to the agri-
cultural industry here. If the cotton trade
languishes the wages of your mill opera
tives is reduced; as business improves
wages are advanced, and 1t would be just
as reasonable to tell our hemp, sugar and
tobacco planters that If their business Is
not paying them they must turn to wheat
growing or the raising of cotton as it
would be to tell your cotton mill owners
or your cotton planters that when the cot
ton business depressed hey should turn
to making iron and steel, or to raising
sugar beets.

RIFLE MAN ASKS QUESTION

RIFLE, Nov. 20.-Editor Of the Glen
wood Post.-'Dear Sir: am inform
ed that our district attorney, Mr.. James
c. Gentry, has not been attending his
duties in the district court which has
been in session the past few days in
your city. 1 am also informed that he
wap excused FROM serving because of
the Hines or death Of brother in
another state. This causes me to ask
few questions, that believe are on
the tongues of several in this county
"If it is possible, would like ans
wsrs TO the following:
"Is it fact that James G. Gentry
has been spending some of the time he
was supposed to be with the sick broth
er, in Denveri
"Is it fact that Mr.. Gentry has
been spending a portion of that time
in Grand Junction?
-" Is it fact that he has been spend
ing part of that time in Meekerf
is it a fact that he has spent
some of this time in this cityf
,"Is it fact that ne loft this city
this morning for Denver!
els it fact that he has another
lose of the dope said to have been
given him in Aspen some time agoi
Has Mr.. Gentry been attending his
1uties in this session of the district
court in your city?
"Do you know where Mr.. Gentry is
today"
To the first four of your questions
we cannot give a positive answer. The
report reached this office on the day
your letter was written that Mr.. Gentry
was either in your city or had left as
you suggest in the fifth question.
We cannot answer your sixth ques.
tion, for We have been unable to learn
the whole facts regarding Mr.. Gentry's s
actions the past few days.
We are reliably informed by tele-
phone from your city that Mr.. Gentry
was an outgoing passenger from Rife
Yesterday evening, November 20, via
Colorado Midland, number six. There
seems to be no doubt of this fact thus
he must be in Denver at this time We
are also informed by others that Mr..
Gentry had the state room on the Mid
and yesterday evening.
As to the seventh question, we leave
that to tho people to decide. He has
not been here for several days and the
criminal cases were left to another to
care for. Some of these cases were
continued to the April term as the
special district attorney did not care
TO take them up. We thus leave it with
the taxpayers to draw their own con-
clusions.

A message received last night from
Mrs. A. J. Dickson, announced the
death of her father yesterday morning
at his home at Milan, Kansas.
Louis N. Phinippi was a man Of
powerful physique and until past mid
die life was strong and of rugged
health. For several years he has suf-
fered from an affection Of the kidneys
and bladder, to an extent which has
made his life most uncertain. During
the past few mouths the entertainments
Of old age have borne heavily upon him
and seven weeks ago Mrs. Dickson and
other relatives were summoned to his
bedside with the thought that the end
was very near. His wonderful vitality,
however carried him a fortnight beyond
the time which the physicians had fixed
for his dissolution.
Mr.. Phillippi was in his 18th year at
the time of his death.
He visited Glenwood few years ago
and is pleasantly remembered by many
of our citizens who met him at that
time.

THERE ARE OTHER REASONS.

A recent dispatch from New York
says:
"Railroad wrecks in this country are
brought about by railroad employees
Who drink, gamble and indulge in other
forms Of dissipation and not because
they are overworked, according to the
theory advanced today by Dr.. R. W.
Corwin, division surgeon Of the Misc
ouri Pacific at Pueblo, Colo, in a pa
per read before the New York and New
England association of railway sur
geons at the academy of medicine.
"These are some of the counts which
DR.. Corwin brought against railroad
employees whose mode Of life, he de-
clared the contributing causes Of rail
road disaster gambling, jealousy,
drink, smoking to excess, domestic
trouble, social ambitions.

into an excursion train said Dr.. Cor

fact that the night before he had gamb,

UNKNOWN MAN DIES
AT sHosHoNE
From Tuesdays Daily Post.

Death came last night to an unknown
man at Shoshone. Mortician Sschwarz
was called to the camp Of the power
company, leaving here at three O'Clock
this morning, returning at seven with
the body of the deceased.
A search of his clothing revealed
that he had some $3.50, but not a
thing by which he could be identified.
Workers at Shoshone, say he arrived
in the camp Sunday and that since that
time he has been drinking heavily. His
rambling talk led them to believe that
he came there from Cardiff, but he new
er disclosed his name.
He was a man about thirty years of
age, height five feet nine inches, weight
no lbs, sandy complexion, hair dark
and cut rather short, light mustach Of
some four weeks growth, wore blue
overalls and jumper. black shirt and
dark coat and vest.
He had been in this city for in one
of his pockets was found slip showing
he had made some purchases at Borst
Bros store. There was neither name
or date on this slip, thus as clue to
his identity it is seemingly worthless.
When found the man was near the
stove in the hall of the bunkhouse.
There were scratches on his cheek,
which would Indicate he had fallen,
Blood on his forehead at first caused
some to believe murder had been com.
mitted, but there were no indications
on the body of foul play.

-oTES KEPT SECRET
CRIME OF YOUTH

GRAND JUNCTION Nov. 23.-One
cf the most peculiar cases of the pay
'rent of a conscience fund as well as a
complication in the settlement of an cs-
tate came to light when Mrs. Melissa
z. Funk of Attica, Ind, brought suit
in Los Angeles CAL, against the exc
cutors Of the will Of Theodore F. Bon
nell to collect 10000 claimed by Bon
nell as conscience fund between 1857
and 1907. The executors admit that the
signature on the notes appears to be
genuine. Bonnel died in California
last year, and the executors are Judge
G. H. Hutton Of Los Angeles and Judge
w. A. Marsh of Colorado Springs.
The story connected with the notes
Is one Of the most extraordinary ever
made public. In 1857 Bonnell was a
young man 90 years Of age. Mrs. Funk
then Melissa link was at that time
l2 years of age. She claims that Bon
nell attempted to assault her one
evening near her home at Attica, Ind.
She had been visiting neighbor, and
was returning home just after dark.
According to her statement Bonnell
was unsuccessful and fled. She did
not know where he was, but two years
later she received letter from him
in which he asked forgiveness and in
which was a note for $500 payable
by the executors of his estate after
his death. A few years later she re-
ceived another note and another letter.
About this time Bonnell moved into
western Colorado. He has lived in
Grand Junction ever since, and had
accumulated fortune of 100000 He
was one of the most respected men of
the western slope, and has always
stood high in this community No
one over knew that there was his
tory to mis- past until after his de ath

for payment. The notes show that
they were isued for amounts ranging
from 1900 to $500, and that one was

HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES
furniture

There are many iteresting facts re
garding cheap food in various portions
of the earth. Belin> in Germany, is
said to lead the civilized world in the
way of cheap restaurants. There are
many places where you may secure
meal of horse flesh, bread and coffee
for twetny-fve pfennig, which is about
six cents. In the poorer parts of the
city, there are many little restaurants
where you can buy a meal for twelve
pfenig, which would be about three
cents. In some of these cheap restaur-
ants, there is long table, and no chairs
are to be seem but there are long
benches. Tin spoons are chained to
the table, soup plates are sunk into the
table, and the one who wants to eat a
meal comes in and sits down in front
of one of these plates, and lays his
three cents beside it. Usually n woman
is in the kitchen, and in many of these
places, the kitchen is part of the
restaurant itself. As soon as you have
laid your money on the table, she trots
forward with.a steaming hot kettle of
thick soup, although thin soup is some
times served. She fills your soup plate
with this hot soup, and lays thick
slice of black bread beside the plate,
and your dinner is complete.
This is certainly a cheap meal. There
are many places in all our large cities
