The best farce comedy that ever
has been shown to a Denver audience
by local talent was the isles of Ping

day night, produced by Mcdaniel,

the production was evidenced by the
fact that though it was nearly mid
night when it concluded, there was
not duh moment and not person
left the hall or showed signs of un-
rest. The sketch was written by Otis
Mcdaniel and the special scenery used
in its production was painted by him.
Both cannot be praised too highly.
The music for the evening was high

SOME PLAIN talk.
Senators Tillman and Depew
Lock Horns in Senate
Over the Part the New York Banks
Play in Speculations In Loaning
Money to Gamblers.

A lively colloquy between Senator
Depew and Tillman took place whe1
the South Carolina senator attempt
ed to have the senate pass his resolu
ton calling on the comptroller o.
the currency to furnish a detailed
statement Of all loans made by na
tional banks in New York upon col
lateral security during the 6 month:
from June l to December 1, 1907.
Mr.. Aldrich suggested that az
drawn the measure mad many objec
tionable features, but he thought {
resolution would framed to give
the information desired if it should
be referred to the committee on f.
nance.
Mr.. Tillman demanded to know the
objection to the resolution, Mr.. Aid
rich replying that the chief objection
was the provision calling for the
names of people making loans.
II think that would be the very
worst thing we could do in the pres
ent condition. said Mr.. Aldrich.
Mr.. Tillman disavowed any special
purpose in having the names and Mr..
Hale asked that the matter be al
lowed to go over so that the chair
man Of the finance committee and
Mr.. Tillman might agree on a form
of resolution. Mr.. Tillman said be
did not want to go into the pri-
vate affairs of banks but merely
wanted to get at the facts concern
ing stock gambling and the loaning
of funds Of depositors for stock
gambling purposes.
Mr.. Depew said that what was done
in New York was done elsewhere
and the inquiry might be extended
to other places.
But" shouted Mr.. Tillman, most
states have closed their bucketshops
and New York has not shut up its
bucketshop or gambling house that
is swallowing up the little fellows y
South Carolina would be the first
to suffer if the New York exchange
were closed" said Ar. Depew, and
her industrial institutions would feel
the effect Of a loss Of credit If New
York is hampered.
81 have never discovered that New
York is supplying money from dis
interested motives" retorted Mr.
Tillman; I'VE pay for everything we
get"
Mr.. Depew said it was safe to say
that a majority of demand loans are
made for legitimate purposes
added that he was ready to cooperate
in the suppression OF gamDnng in
New York.
The resolution was then offered to
the committee on finance.

SENT CHECK
To Cover the Amount of Which State
Was Robbed.

The State says that Col. Fielder
and Mr.. Malvern Hill, in going over
the old books of the State dispensary,
discovered that on an order for 800
casks of beer sold to the State Dis
pensary in 1904, the indianapolis
Brewing company .overcharged the
State the sum Of $3.50. A settle
ment in full had been made with
this concern nearly four years ago
and their firm name did not appear
on the ledger of the dispensary when
the commission took charge.
Col. Fielder addressed a communl-
cation to the indianapolis Brewing
company calling attention to the find
ings of the commission as to their
dealings with the officers OF the
State and advised that the amount
of oyercharge, $3.50, be RENTED to
the attorney general without delay.
By return mail came check for the
full amount of the overcharges and
no questions were asked.

they were received at the norgue.
The first Identification was made
by the mother of Nell and Tommy
Thompson, aged six and nine years,
respectively The heads and arms
had been burned from both bodies,
but the mother recognized the shoes
on her children's feet. And so the
disheartening went work on, accen-
ruated now and then by the piercing
shrek or plaintive moan as a loved
one was recognized by clothing or
token, such as ring or necklace.
Miss Golman, one Of the teachers,
said: ''It was awful. I can seen the
wee things in my room holding out
their tiny arms and crying to me to
help them. Their voices are ring
ing in my ears yet and I shall never
forget them. When the alarm gong
