TWO MONTHS BRIDE
COMMITS SUICIDE

SALIDA, Oct. 30.-Considerable ex-
citement was caused in Salida tonight
when it became known that Mrs W. L.
Philbin, wife of prominent business
man and bride of only two months,
had killed herself. Only a few days
after the wedding, which occurred at
her home in Moberly, Mo-, Mrs. Phil
bin was tricken with nervous prostra-
tion and developed symptoms of mild
insanity She was taken to a private
sanitarium in Pueblo, but was soon
pronounced cured and came home.
That was about three weeks ago.
This afternoon, in company with her
mother, Mrs. John Wilson, she entered
the home of Marshal Gillen, who is her
uncle. Mrs. Gillen and the girls
mother left her in the house reading,
while they went to neighbor IS on an
errand. When they returned an hour
later the dead body of Mrs. Philbn
was found on the floor in a pool of
blood. She had procured one of her
uncles' revolvers and shot herself
through the heart. There is little
doubt but that insaity was the cause
of the rash act.
The dead woman was last year a
teacher in the Salida public schools
and had lived here for several years
and no society affair was considered
complete without her. Mr.. Philbin is
An sssayer and chemist and has been
. resident Of SalidA for some time.

cape Fire Department
Arrives Too Late
The SECOND ATTEMPT

DENVER, Oct. 31.-The Westminster
Presbyterian church at 1855 Liten
street was this morning set fire to by
incendaries at 5 o'clock. By the time
the fire department arrived the build
ing, which was a brick structure, was
burning so that scarcely anything could
be saved. 1t was discovered that the
building had been saturated with oil.
The carpets We're saturated in sever
al parts of the building were found
places where the fire had been started.
The case was reported to Chief of
Police Armstrong and a detective corps
was at once organized and every effort
is being made to capture the fire bugs.
This is the second attempt that has
been made to burn this church. The
first time it was set on fire by some
small boys, but the fire was extinguish-
ed before much damage was done.
The damage caused by the fire this
morning will amount to 1000.

c. J. HUGHES CALLS A MEETING
His D. U. Water Co. Will Fight the Re-
publican Ticket Dying Gasp
of Denvefs Corporation

DENVER, Oct. 31.-Charles J.
HUGHES, Jr., the millionaire candidate
of the democratic party for tho United
States senate has called a meeting for
his Denver Union Water company at
the Denver Auditorium tonight The
chief speaker will be N. Walter Dixon,
ex-district judge, ostensibly a repub.
lican. Dixon aided the democrats in
the Peabody campaign of 1904. He
made several public addresses for Speef
against Phelps during the Denver city
campaign last spring. Through liberal
donations from Hughes and the Water
company's barrels the Water company
republicans have been using Dixon
as their attorney and leader. The re-
publican voters who originally followed
the Parks faction have broken away
and all that is left of that valiant arm.

At the White House the announce

of the bitter hatred borne by the

Colorado's next governor was loudly
cheered as he advanced to the front
of the platform. His speech, though
brief, was to the point. The governor
declared himself in favor of pri-
mary election law, and promised a
business like administration and re-
sented the unwarrantable attack on the
supreme court by the democrats.
Clyde Dawson, from Canon CITY,

the election of William X. Taft on

TAFT AND BRYAN IN SAME CITY

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 3O.-To this
city tonight fell the distinction of en-
tertaining the two men most prominent
in public interest. Mr.. Taft spoke at
two meetings and Mr.. Bryan at two.
The standing room sign was displayed
long before the meetings came to or
der, and many were turned away. The
presidential candidates were received
with fattering demonstrations and
their speeches were frequently inter
rupted by spontaneous applause,
The Taft and Bryan specials reached
the station at almost the same mo-
ment. shortly after 6 O'Clock, and to
the credit of the city's hospitality, the
expressions of welcome were pretty
evenly divided. Both candidates were
met by local leaders and entertained at
dinner. Mr.. Bryan left his car and
shook hands with many on the plat
form. Mr.. Taft improved the oppor-
tunity to rest for little while after
h;s e., had come to a standstill.
