slsshed Her Husbands Throat.

Denver.-With several ugly gashes
in his throat, cut by razor, and faint
ing from loss of blood, George Ernest
Armstrong stumbled into the home OF
his brother at 1860 Center street Tues
day night and declared his wife. Alice.
had tried to murder him because he
refused to roll her cigarette.
Apparently dying, Armstrong was
taken to the county hospital in the
police ambulance after Police Surgeon
McGillivray had temporarily dressed
his wounds. His recovery is consid-
cred doubtful.
Police headquarters was notified by
Patrolman Anderson, and Detectives
Peterson and Koehler were sent out
on the police ambulance.
They found Mrs. Armstrong had
fed, but half an hour later she was
found hiding in the brush on ColfaX
avenue. She still clutched the blood
stained razor.
When taken to Jail she told an en-
tirely different story from that related
to the police by Armstrong.
Il am Woodworking woman" she
said, between sobs. 81 worked yester-
day from early morning until late last
evening, washing for people on Capitol
hill. AS usual, when l reached home
found my husband drunk. He
started to abuse me. and l made a
slash at him with a razor"

eoYERsTowN DEATH LIST.
Ono Hundred and Seventy Persons
Persisted In Opera House Fire.

Boyerstown, Pa-One hundred and
seventy persons persisted In the
Rhoades opera house fire Monday
night. according to figures compiled
by Coroner Strasser. The list Of dead
includes one fireman, who lost his life
fighting the fire, and one man, Jacob
Johnson, who died today from injuries
received IN the blazing playhouse.
Three charred bodies were recovered
from the ruins of the building today
and of the 1853 bodies or remains that
lie in the improvised morgues, 115 have
been officially or partially identified by
sorrowing relatives or friends.
The private morgues in the town
were not of sufficient size to receive
the bodies of those taken from the fire
ruins and the public school was also
used.
Each bit of jewelry or fragment of
clothing picked up in the blackened
ruins was tagged, as were the charred
and blackened bodies, or such portion
of them as remained, and all persons
in search of missing ones were permit
ted to pass through the gruesome rows
to made identificationS. Some OF the
bodies could not be recognized by the
features alone, as in most cases the
upper portion of the corpses were
scared or burned to a crisp.
Coroner Strasser tonight established
bureau of information where he
graA,ted death certificates and signed
insurance papers.
Representatives of scores of insur-
ance companies are in Boyerstown pay
ing off claims as fast as they are pre-
sented.
Not more than twenty-five Of the en-
tire number of bodies removed from
the fire have heads. There are several
trunks that will probably never be
identified, as there were several stran-
gers in the audience that witnessed the
play.
That the victims were not confined
to residents of Boyerstown was shown
by the number of unclaimed teams at
the hotels. Fully forty teams remained
uncalled for at the stables yesterday
and the liyerymen said they belonged
to people residing within a radius of
five or six miles of Boyerstown who
drove to this place Monday night with
their families to witness the produc-
ton of the Scottish Reformation"
There is no clue to the identity of
the owners of number of the teams.
The merry parties of four and six
that drove into Boyerstown with the
teams are believed to be with the I'M
identified dead in the various morgues.

Washington.-A feature of the an
nual report Of Surgeon General Wyman
of the public health and marine hospit-
al service, transmitted to congress dur
ing the last week. is a review Of the
bubonic plague situation at San Fran
ciso. Up to November 10Th there has
been ninety-six cases of this dread dis
ease and sixty deaths. The surgeon
general states that it has been impos-
sible to discover the original of the
plague outbreak. While the surgeon
general states that the disease is re-
ported as diminishing, he asserts that
1t will of necessity require long time
for complete eradication.

Rushing Ditch Enterprise.

Denver.-A Fort Morgan dispatch
says: One hundred teams are working
on the Riverside ditch in this county.
Those who have been sReptical about
getting. water on the land north of this
place during the coming summer are
now believers. There is much activity
in trading in land in that section. The
district covers about 10000 acres, half
of which lies adjacent to Fort Morgan.
The company having the work in
charge has decided to extend the ditch
to point six miles beyond Wildcat
creek, and by doing so will cover a
great deal more territory than at first
planned. The reservoir supplying this
ditch is full.

TIE o.
General Demand


Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufacture by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

coIored Preacher Horsewhinned.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Trinidad Wednesday night says: Rev.
Alex Wagner, pastor of the African
Methodist church, was publicly horse
whipped in the presence of a large
crowd at the Santa Fe depot at noon
today by j. H. Patton, a member of
Wagoner's congregation. Patton rained
vicious blows on the preachers head
and shoulders, and only desisted when
he felt satisfied as no one interfered.
During the Sunday evening services
at the colored church there was not a
woman present, and it is said that
Wagner made the remark that the
women of the congregation were prob
ably walking the streets with other
men"
When this alleged remark reached
the ears of the women it raised a pro-
test which led to the horsewhipping.
The colored people are much ex-
cited over the affair and more trouble
is expected. Wagner recently came
here from Phoenix, Arizona.

Ask That Troops Remain.

Carson City, Nev-At the afternoon
session of the Assembly Thursday
resolution which passed the Senate in
the morning, petitioning the President
to retain the troops temporarily,
passed without a negative vote. There
was no argument on either side as to
the merits of the measure. Governor
Sparks was at the speakers desk and
as he came into the hall was greeted
with applause. Speaker Skaags, who
had opposed the governor in the mat
ter of calling the troops to Nevada
left thu chair and Speaker pro TEN. Fol
som placed the motion before the
house. Skaags absented himself when
the vote was taken.

Woolgrowers' Attitude.

Helena, Mont.-After the most sue
cessful meeting in the history of its
organization, the forty-fourth annual
convention of the National Woolgrow-
ers' Association Thursday night ad-
journed to meet next year in Pocat-
clio, Ida.
Before adjourning fund Of $4,000
was subscribed by the various state
delegations for the establishment OF
a publicity bureau to wage fight
against the administration policy for
federal regulation of the public range.
Despite the fact that he was elected
president of the national association
by unanimous vote, DIR. ]. NJ. Wilson
of Douglas. Wyo., declined to accept
the honor because of his personal and
political friendship for United States
Senator Francis E. Warren, whom the
convention refused to consider for re-
election because of the fact that the
Wyoming senator has gone on record
as favoring the forestry and range pol
icies of President Roosevelt.
After DIR. Wilson's declination of the
presidency, Fred w. Gooding of Idaho
was chosen as Senator Warren's sue
cessor.
Other officers elected were:
DR.. j. NJ. Wilson of Wyoming, West
ern vice president; Joseph Ewing of
Ohio, Eastern vice president; George
S. Walker of Wyoming, secretary;
Lewis Penwell of Montana, treasurer
The executive committee includes: J..
A. Artiz and John Lawrence for Colo
RADIO; Sol Lund and A. d. Garrett for
New Mexico, and Tim Kay and Will
liam Daley for Wyoming.

"Diabolo."

Any one who could say why thu
world adopts toy, plays with It a
while. and throws it in the corner,
would know more about human nature
than has yet been discovered. A few
months ago "diabolo" meant nothing
except to readers of books about
games, where 1t appears under its
English name as flying cone" To-day
the game is being played all over
France and England and has invaded
the United States. Diabolo consists of
four or five feet of string tied to the
ends Of two sticks, and spool with
thin waist. The trick Is to toss the
spool into the air and catch 1t on the
string. There are picturesque varia-
tons, such as catching the spool be-
hind ones back, tossing 1t over a ten
mis- net to an opponent, and other dell
cate juggleries. The game was in
vogue hundred years ago. and is
illustrated in the prints of the time. A
French engineer revived 1t recently,
and now the flying cones are so thick
in some parts of Paris and London
that the police have had to take meas
ures to protect the innocent peGes-
trian. Punch represents a diabolist
disguised because she cannot toss the
spool and catch 1t more than 4 900 odd
times while riding her bicycle. An
other enthusiast is described tossing
up mullins and coal scuttles instead of
the spool. Tomorrow where will the
game be? asks the Youths Compan-
ton. A little while ago everybody was
playing ping-pong. Who plays 1t now?
Tiddledywinks had its brief, snappy
day, and went to the attic, to lie with
the battledores and shuttlecocks that
our grandfathers once gracefully
welded. 1t is not long since pigs-in-

way Of preserving places Of scenic and
historic interest. The late owner of
the site of Fort Lee. opposite New
York city, has donated the ground to
the national government, which has
accepted the gift. Fort Lee is at the
lower end Of the Palisades of the Hud-
son, was an important post in the
revolutionary war and commands a
magnificent view of the surrounding
region. including New York and the
mighty stream which flows by it to the
sea. Much of the Palisades has al

and the intention of the United States
authorities to maintain Fort Lee as a
national reservation will fit in with
