American Women Slow.

American women seem slow IL
saving devices ever invented for the
householder. Several years ago fire
less stoves or self-cookers came into
use in Germany. They consist OF
boxes, constructed with doublewalls,
containing material that prevents the
escape Of heat. The food is first thor
ough1y heated on an ordinary stove,
then placed inside the box, sealed and
left until wanted, when 1t is taken
out, steaming hot, and with all the
favors retained that, by the ordinary
process of cooking, are dissipated.
American men promptly utilized this
discovery; fireless stoves have been
found invaluable by the army in the
west. Why have the women remained
apathetic? Is 1t because the self
cooker, as at first constructed, was
available only for boiling or stewing
food? If SO. there is no further ex-
cuse for holding back, for. as Consul
General John w. Dye writes from Ber-
lin, there is now on the market an
improved fireless stove that not only
cooks. but fries and roasts. with the
aid Of a heated stone. Here is help
in solving the servant problem by re-
ducing the hours of work.
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-01-16

There is at present only one route
ACROSS the South American continent
from east to west which the traveller
can take without resorting to mule
back journeys for long distances. The
road is the route from Valparaiso to
Buenos Ayres, which can, except in
winter time, be covered by railroad
and stage, the railroads at the ends
and the stage route, of course. over
the mountain passes. Two days will
suffice for the 900-mile trip, but at that
It is not without its discomforts and
even perils. Before many years have
passed, however, it is predicted that
there will be at least three railroads
across the Andes, one of them being
transcontinental, the other connecting
with steamers on the Amazon or its
tributaries.

viii Withdraw Troops.

Washington.-Presi Roosevelt
has determined to withdraw the fed
eral troops from Goldfeld, Nevada,
shortly after the convening of the
special session of the Legislature. which
met Tuesday. This intention was
made known at the White House
when the report of the special investi-
eating commission was made public,
together with a letter from the Presi-
dent to Governor Sparks dated Janu-
ary 4th.
The President says he shall be gov
erned by the recommendations in the
report unless the governor can show
that the statements Of the report are
not in accordance with the facts. The
report says:
"The conditions did not support the
general allegations in the governors
request for troops, nor were his spe-
cific statements established to any
such extent as to justify his use of
these statements for the purpose of
getting federal troops"
The commission expresses itself as
satisfied that out of the entire mem
bership in the miners union the-e are
not over a few hundred men OF dan
gerous type, while the great majority,
probably three-fourths of the member
ships of the union, were conceded to be
men Of law-abiding tendencies. The
report adds:
"By permitting their organization to
be managed and controlled by men of
violent tendencies, the union as a body
has thus laid itself open to the re-
proach of being vicious organiza-
tion.
'In view of the foregoing facts we
believe there is considerable danger
that serious disorders will be attempt
ed If the troops be withdrawn and the
mine operators insist on carrying out
their publicly announced policy. But
If handful of men have controlled
the Goldfield Miners Union and COM
mitted the organization to indefensible
policies and practices, it is no reason
why the county of Esmeralda and the
state Of Nevada should tamely submit
to the domination of this same group
and should not assert their authority
and power and enfore respect for law
and order without support of federal
troops"

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Jan. 13.
The local market made another ad-
vance last week notwithstanding the
fact that most eastern markets are
quoting declines. The local demand
was strong and good cattle are 10 to
25c higher than a week ago. Beer
steers were wanted and sold well A
bunch of fancy grain fed steers from
the Arkansas valley feed lots sold at
$500 and a few odds and ends made
$4.50@$4.75 with bulk of good killing
grades at $3.S5@$440. Cows sold up
to $3.50, the highest price here for
many weeks with several punches at
$3.40@$3.60. Bulk of the good cows
offered went at s3.00@S3.25 and med
ium kinds at $2.65@s3.00. Bulls were
firm at S2.25@s2.S0 Veals higher,
tops selling at $500. Feeder and
stocker demand was strong. The mar
ket is fully a quarter higher than a
week ago and prospects bright for
good trade here this week and next
Bulk of the pretty good steers offered
sold at $3.50@$4.00 but choice stuff
would bring considerably more.
The hog demand was good despite
the fact that receipts for the week
were heavy. On Thursday 4,914 head
arrived, which was the largest num-
ber Of hogs ever received here n one
day, the total receipts for the week be-
about 1900. Prices are slightly lower
than week ago with bulk at $4,000
$3.50.
The sheep market is firm and To-
cal demand good. A bunch of good
fat lambs from northern Colorado sold
Saturday at s6.10 while ewes brought
s4.00@s4.10 during the week.

GUARDING THEIR FLocks.
Two Hundred Armed Men Protecting
Twenty Thousand Sheep.

1.-TWO Hundred Armed Men PROTECTING
Twenty Thousand Sheep.
Denver.-A Grand Junction. Colo,
special to the Republican Monday night
says:
Appeals to the governor and to the
shcriffs Of Mesa and Delta counties for
special protection having failed, and
fearing that a bloody battle might be
precipitated by irate cattlemen through
whose territory they must pass and
which had been the scene of many
range wars and murders, the owners
Of 10000 sheep are sending the stock
from Montrose to the winter range in
Utah under guard of over 200 men,
armed with Winchesters.
This great body arrived within two
miles Of Grand Junction at dusk to-
night and bivouacked on the Orchard
mesa. For miles around and along the
route skirmishers are deployed, look
ing for the slightest sign of hostile
cattlemen. The guards form a Gordon
about the f1ocks, taking turns at keep
ing watch.
The sight is the most picturesque
ever seen in this part OF the country
and brings to mind the days when the
Ku Klux Klan of the South mustered
its wierd forces under the shadows of
night to make impossible negro domi-
nation.
On every peak, hilltop, in the ra-
vines and along the roads and trails
watchmen are tonight silhouetted
against the clear sky and refuse to
speak. Save for infrequent challenges
by sentries of curious persons ap-
preaching too close to the line, all is
quiet.
The owners of the sheep are mem
bers Of the Western Slope Wool Grow
ers' Association. They petitioned the
sheriffs for 200 deputies, but they were
refused. Then a petition to Lieuten-
ant Governor Harper for troops was
also refused, but he sent a letter to
the sheriffs to see that the flocks were
protected.
A short time ago John Swanson, a
sheep herder, was murdered and his
flock driven off the range. Although
$4,000 reward was offered the murderer
was never captured. The feeling be-
tween the two sides is bitter and mi
nor troubles have been frequent. The
sheep are feeding as they go along and
trouble is feared. The sheepmen will
break camp at dawn and continue to-
ward the Utah line.

Awful Theater Disaster.

Boyertown, Pa.-One hundred per-
sons of this borough were killed in a
theater fire and panic Monday night
and nearly three-score injured, many
of them fatally. A majority of the
killed were members of the leading
families of the town.
While "The Scottish Reformation"
was being produced in the Rhoades
opera house by Mrs. Monroe of Wash
ington, gasoline tank used in a NOV
ing picture scene exploded. Immedi-
ately there was a wild rush for the
exits of the building. Men of mature
years endeavored TO still the panic,
but their voices coulS not be heard
above the shrieks and screams of the
terrified women and children, who
composed the greater part of the audi
ence.
1t seemed as though nearly the en-
tire audience made n mad rush for the
exit the moment the explosion oc-
Cured In their attempt to quiet the
great crowd those persons who were
on the stage accidentally upset the
coal oil lamps used at the footlights.
The burning oil scattered in all di-
rections, and the lamps which were
used to light the opera house ex-
ploded, throwing the blazing oil over
the terror-stricken people who were
fighting frantically to gain the exits.
In the mad rush a section of the floor
gave way, precipitat!ng scores of per-
sons to the basement.
It was scarcely five minutes from
the time of the explosion of the tanks
until the entire heart of the structure
seemed roaring furnace.
