FISH in
HYDRANT

a very peculiar happening was
called to The Sentinels attention
this morning by Rev. Smith, the
pastor of the African Methodist
church.
Yesterday Rev. Smith was unable
to get any water out of the hydrant
at the church, try as hard as he
might.
Thinking that perhaps the water
had been turned off by the city, he
went to see the water superintend-
ent He found that the water had
not been turned off.
Then he got plumber to investi-
gate.
In the hydrant pipe there was
found, wedged in tightly, a hsh OF
some s inches in length and of pref
ty good circumference. 1t was dead.
The fish in some manner had sue
ceeded in coming all the way from
the river, through the water mains
and pipes, clear across the city to
the African Methodist church. He
had gone as far as he could, for he
was right at the mouth of the hy-
drant.
1t is not often that a Gunnison riv-
er fish can be induced to make a
swim through the circuitous water
mains and pipes of the city.

DEATH or cHiNEsE EMPEROR

AceR EMPRESS.
INFANT ON THE THRONE
PRINCE cHUN AZ REGENT As.
sUMEs Government OF
THE COUNTRY. q,

Peking-The Emperor died shortly
after o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The Emperor had been Ill for long
time and during recent audiences with
foreign representatives he was unable
either to sit up on the throne or even
in an erect position. 1t was evident
for q long time that he would be unable
to Withstand a crisis which sooner or
later must develop in the disease from
which he was suffering. Recent eli
matic extremes caused fatal complica-
tions.
The report Of Friday that the Dow
aged Empress Of China was mortally Ill
was confirmed by the foreign board
Of the government.
At the moment of the death OF the
Emperor the Dowager Empress own
death chamber chair was waiting In
the court yard.
Tsze Hsi An, the Dowager Empress
OF China, autocratic head Of the govern
ment, which she directed without sue
cessful interference since 1861. and
without protest since 1881. died at 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The announcement Of the Dowager
Empress death was official and fol-
lowed closely upon the announcement
that Kuang Hsu, the Emperor. had died
Saturday at o'clock in the afternoon.
but 1t is believed the deaths occurred
considerable time before that set down
in the official statement.
E An edict issued at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning placed upon the throne Prince
Pu VI, the three-year-old son Of Prince
Chun, the regent of the empire. in &C.
cordance with promise given by the
Dowager Empress soon after the mar
riage of Prince Chun in 1903. An edict
issued on Friday made Pu VI heir pre-
sumptive.
The foreign legations were notified
Sunday morning by the foreign board
Of the death Of the Emperor and the
succession Of Prince Pu VI. Troops
have been in readiness for several days
to quell any disorders that might arise
on the death Of Kuang Hsu, and the
possibility Of uprisings was made
greater because OF the fact that the
death OF the Dowager Empress was
known to be close at hand.
Prince Chun, the regent, has ordered
tho viceroys and governors to take pre-
cautions for the continuation of the ad-
minfstratiou of the provinces as here
tofore and he has ordered a. hundred
days Of mourning. The court will go
into mourning for three years.
Peking already has been greatly
transformed. All red objects have been
removed and blue substituted. Tho peo-
pie learned this evening of the death
Of the Dowager Empress and although
the Chinese are in no wise emotional
they showed that they were profoundly
impressed by the passing of their pow
erful ruler. The foreigners in the city
are watching the strange ceremonies
with great interest. At the palace
elaborate rites are being observed, and
. flood of edicts has been sent forth.
Deathbed observances Of 5000 years
ago marked the passing Of the Emperor
and Dowager.

MATTER DISCUSSED IN DENVER
CONVENTION OF AMERICAN
FEDERATION OF LABOR.
CONFERENCE IS URGED
PRESIDENT ooMPERs SAYS NOW
10 TIME TO DECIDE ON Fu-
TURE ACTION.

Denver.-If the views of the dele
gates assembled to attend the twenty
eighth annual convention of the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor may be taken
a. indicating the policies that will be
outlined by the convention, it is likely
that a great political party, styled the
Labor party, will be born of this meet
ing in Denver. Monday afternoon the
political question had the center Of the
stage, as on nearly every day since
President Gompers called the gather
ing to order.
President Gompers and half a score
movement declared that the time for
the men Of labor to decide upon the
weapons to be used in the fight of the
future was now, not next year nor two
years nor four years hence.
John H. Walker, delegate OF the
United Mine Workers of America, who
has been Socialist for years, but who
in the last campaign supported the
policies of President Gompers, in a
stirring speech urged the convention
to call conference Of the leaders OF
the labor movement, the Socialist par
ty, the farmers unions, and every or
ganized body working toward better
ment OF the conditions of the men and
women who toll. This conference or
convention will determine upon the or
ganization of a new political party un-
der the name Labor party, and make
plans for prosecuting a campaign Of
organization all over the country.
The party, he declared, should not
seek alliance with either Of the old
parties, but should labor to so
strengthen itself that 1t would, through
its moral force, force the old parties
to grant the conditions labor was en-
titled to or sweep them out Of control.
Walkers appeal was made after ].
Herbert Skinner. fraternal delegate
from the British Trades Union Con-
gress, had been called upon to detail
the history of the English trades un-
ions in the political field and had ex-
planned the developments that led to
the formation of the Labor party Of the
British Isles.
The discussion arose ON a recon-
mendation of the committee on Treas.
urer Lemons report that the execu
tive council take up and consider some
plan by which the unions of the coun-
try could protect their funds against
attachment to satisfy judgments rem
dered against them as a result Of It'll

The suggestion was made by Andrew
J. Gallagher of San Francisco. dele

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum

This is especially SO with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the case with talented persons.
There Is simple, easy way to get rid
Of coffee evils and Tenn. ladys ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says:
Almost from the beginning of the
use of coffee 1t hurt my stomach. By
the time was fifteen I was almost a
nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything 1
could eat that would agree with me.
The little did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than it was worth. 1
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was SO little food I
could digest. I was literally starving;
was SO weak could not sit up long
at time.
1T was then friend brought me a
not cup OF Postum. l drank part of it
and after an hour felt as though 1
had had something to eat = felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Post.
um In place Of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day 1 can eat and
digest anything want, walk as much
as want. My nerves are steady.
Il believe the first thing that did me
any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and use it alto
gether now instead Of coffee" There's
