Inadequate Service

Somebody made serious blunder in
connection with the train accommoda-
lions on the railroad, Friday morning.
Excursion rates had been advertised
and it was natural to suppose that cars
would be provided to take care of the
people who wanted to take advantage
of these rates. When the train ar
rived Friday morning, the coaches
were soon crowded and standing room
was at premium. Then the overflow
began piling into the baggage car and
soon filed it. In addition to this a
number of people We're unable to get
on after buying tickets and especially
persons who had children with them.
There was some justifiable kicking not
only by those who were packed like
sardnes in box, but also by those
|swho got left. AS Idaho Springs has
nothing going on the Fourth and as rail
road authorities are supposed to know
conditions on such occasions, it should
have been sufficient notice in advance
for putting on at least one additional
coach

Piker. Win Fast Game

The game of baseball played here last
Sunday between the News-Times team
of Denver and the Pikers, was the best
and most interesting game witnessed
here for some time. Although marred
by some bad errors and one or two slight
accidents it was not until the last
inning was over that the home team
was sure of the game. Graham met
with a slight accident to his pitching
arm in the fifth inning which necessi-
tated his being replaced by HamiiL
Both boys pitched excellent ball
throughout the game. With the score
to against them in the ninth inning
the home team came to bat determined
to win out and with its heaviest hit
ters up batted two runs across the
plate winning out by a score of to
6. Judging from the size of the crowd
which witnessed the game, there be-
irg an attendance of nearly five hun
dred the citizens are waking up to the
fact that the best way to advertise a
town is through god baseball team,
and with proper support the present
team representing Idaho Springs will
be the means of advertising the city
and its resources better than any other
medium of advertising. Come out,
patronize the grand stand and boost
The team will take active part in the

All Kinds OF Weather

Colorado can furnish more kinds of
climate in the shortest time of most
any country, and accompanying this ad-
mission, the undisputed assertion is
made that it excells that of any other
section of the United States Eastern

two hours later they entered London

emerging into bright sunlight and warm,
clear weather at Idsho Springs. Sea-
ling Mount McClelland they were
plunged into midwinter, with the snow
enveloping everything, even view OF
the many peaks they had come many
miles to see. While these sudden chang
es bring with them some discomforts,
still the experienc is such that visitors
will not soon forget and never regret it.

Spectacular Politics.

Its pretty tough on the Republican
managers to have their powder wet
by the United States Court sprinkling
the Standard Oil fine so that the anti
trust issue will not even fizz. No
wonderPresident Roosevelt denounced
the court looking at the matter from
his PARTISAN standpoint. There is no
doubt the Standard Oil is guilty of &C.
cepting rebates, but the Republican
attorneys and Judge Lands were SO
anxious for spectacular fine that
they overplayed their hands and did
not allow the jury to know the whole
truth.

The Pole Cats Change O'Heart.

From time immemorial the pole cat
has been an outcast among animals.
The world has respected him; it has
never loved him. There are certain
of his qualities and attributes which
forbid close acquaintanceship. But
now, thanks to a remarkable scienti-
fic discovery, all this is to be changed.
The pole cat is to have not only his
present place among the living beau
tiful creatures of the out of-doors, but
will bear message of fragrance to the
world as well. 1t is from a Mississ.
ippi country weekly that we CLEAN the
glad tidings. A gentleman farmer of
that state, who is the proprietor of a
chicken farm, has also pole cat farm
near by it. Not long ago his chickens
fell sick. He mixed coal oil with their
feed, and was surprised to find that
the next batch of eggs which his faith
full hens produced smelled strongly of
petroleum.
A bright idea dawned upon him
His face flushed with the Joy of antic-
ipated discovery. His heart throbbed
wildly-even as Newton's must have
beat when he noted with delight that
apple did not fall up instead of down.
If the odor of oil was strong in the
output of the hens, why then!
Enough! He had long hated the odor
of his pole cat farm. Now he mixes
lavender, bergamot and orange flow
ers with the food he gives the pretty
little animals. The results are all that
the most fastidious nature could wish;
a delicate and delightful odor hangs
about the pole cat farm nova scent
that vies with the violet and puts the
musk rose and the magnolia to shame.
Thus is an animal of lovely appearance
but of terrible reputation, transformed
into creature fit to be the theme and
inspiration of whole school of lyric
poets.-Don Marquis, in Uncle Re-
mus's The Home Magazine for Sep
TENDER.
