HURTING THEM BADLY.

Keenly realizing the fact that they
are being left badly every day in the
matter of news gathering. filling
their sheet up with fakes. grapevine
telegraph and custom-made editor
ials, with little sprinklihg of real
local news and telegraph here an
there. the Morning yellow is now
daily venting its spleen in vicious
attacks on The Daily Sentinel.
Too bad that The Sentinel has kept
steadily ahead. giving the people the
reliable news both telegraphic and
local. and covering both fields In
manner that has never been eqnalled
by the Sun-Up Pretense.
Too lad the Morning Yellow hasn't
put The Sentinel out of business In
keeping with some of its boasts.
The vicious attacks by the cute
little yellowhammer of the candy
kid" variety are real elevating and
hurts The Sentinel, oh. SO frightfully
Keep them up, sweet one
This morning. in order to work uT
one of these attacks on its contem-
porary. the Yellow deliberately lied
stating that The Sentinel had an
nounced that Douglass Mitchell had
the contract for the construction OF
the big project for the Orchard Me
sa District The Sentinel stated pos
itively that Mitchell did not have the
contract.

Midland Wants Colorado People to
See Western Live Stock Expo
sitiOn.

Stock feeds of all kinds grown in
Colrado will be exhibited at the com
ing Western Live Stock exposition in
Denver. January 20 to 20. inclusive
together with the reports of the Argi-
cultural college. setting forth the re-
SUITS secured by Prof. Carlyle. and
the senior class of the college, in
raising cattle on the various feeds.
Stock raisers In Colorado are al
ready receiving bonuses over and
above the top market prices for their
mutton and bacon, and there is nc
reason why they can not do equally
as well with the beef If the stock
growers will follow the examples
set by the successful exhibitors.
Thus the coming exposition will
not only be of interest, but will also
be very instructive to stock raisers
and growers.
The Colorado Midland railroad
will sell round trip tickets from al
points on its lines to Denver and re
turn for the usual single fare rate
These tickets will be on sale Janu
ary 19 and 20. and the return limi

THE MEANEsr MAN.

All the men who have aspired to
the doubtful honor of the title, tine
nearest man in the world, VIII
ldoubtlesss desire to undertake a Pill
grimage to the unhonored tomp oi
John Gordon, of Marion, Ohio. COR
don died the other day at the age Oh
more than so years. Old age softens
most men. They are more charita-
Bile with the faults of others. Mel
lowed by time and with full recoi-
lection. of the errors OF their own
Lives, they approach the grave win
serenity, aspiring only In their last
days to make the lot of those about
them better and brighter and nap
pier.
John Gordon of Marion was not of
that class. All of his life he was
hard-hearted, hard-fisted dour man.
He didn't like to see the people hap
nv. and consequently he never did
ANYTHING to increase the happiness
of anybody. The crowning act OF
meani.ess he performed on his death
bed. A little time before the breath
left his body he drew from under his
pillow $4,000 in currency. to which
he had clung throughout his illness.
Carefully placing the bills in a pile
he touched match to them anu
watched them burn until the last one
was reduced to ashes.
Thet. he died, presumably happy
in the thought that no one would re-
ceiye any benefit from that money.
Now. II there sis real justice In the
hereafter. 1t would seem that the on
ly proper punishment for John Cor
don would be brought about by plac-
ing him over a nice, hot fire male
of currency. and let him toast for
while. The currency should be OF
the clearing house check variety, for
presumably that will be current in
the realm that Is suppose to be kept
piping hot.
And wasn't the burning of that
money by John Gordon just about
the meanest thing you ever heard OF!
Do YOU not think that he is entitled
to a place in your recollection as the
champion mean man? Think OF
the good that $4,000 might have
done. With $4,000 it would have
been possible to give at least 1000
deserving families the best kind of
n Christmas dinner. with enough left
over for a few simple presents for
children. 1t would have been pos
sible to endow a bed in hospital,
bed to which the injured, the i'll, the
suffering, might have been taken and
healed without cost to them.
John Gordon preferred to reduce
the money, to ashes. He wanted to be
quite certain that 1t would never be
used by anybody. The old curmudg-
con certainly deserves some punish
ment in the place to which his spir-
1t has departed.-Salt Lake Herald.

OF consolidating the Central church
cid he Bethel church was taken up
and considered Some time ago the
church purchased property on Four
tenth street and Tenth avenue in
order To erect a church edifice there
snd since that time morning services
have been conducted at the Central
church and evening services at the
Bethel chapel. At a meeting of the
church elders, trustees md building
&C rnmittee held Monday evening, with
lev. Marion Humphreys at his office.
it was decided to submit the PROPOSE
ticE Of uniting the two churches to
the congregation and decide by vote
wrat steps shall be taken. 1t was
finally decided that the two churches
unite and hold services at Bethel
church The Central church is in need
or repairs which will cost upwards
Of 81 600 and it was thought best in
View of these needed improvements
and of the fact that the field for work

Have u Great Time.
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan, to put it
briefly and certainly, had the ''bulliest''
time of any one of the 1900 fortunate
dinner and witnessed the meeting of
the men who will lead the two great
political parties of the United States
on election day, one of them to vic
tory, the other to defeat. OF politics
there was no mention
From the beginning of the dinner at
1880 o'clock until the last words in
the after-dinner program had died
away such enthusiasm as attended this
dinner never was exceeded. Mr. Bryan
was on hand early. He was there when
the guests were seated Mr. Taft, de-
layed because of his fieeting trip from
Chicago to Galesburg and return, ar
rived in the main banquet hall at ex-
actly 9:06 o'clock
Mr.. Bryan, when President Hall sig
nailed for the guests to be seated, was
given a rousing welcome of cheers.
Mr.. Taft, when he appeared at the
door of the banquet room, escorted by
j. v. Farwell, Jr., and c. H. Wacker,
was greeted with a tumultuous demon
stration.
Crowd Cheers Spectacle.
AS Mr. Taft CROPPED his way through
the long table-1anked aisle to the
speakers table the din was intense.
Every eye was upon him. He was
smiling and bowling on all sides. Ban
queters patted him on the shoulder as
he passed them. He reached the plat
form where the honored guests were
seated. and Mr.. Bryan stood with his
hand outstretched to greet him.
Then, as the republican nominee
passed under the flag-draped American
eagle poised above his head, he laugh.
ed aloud and grasped his democratic
opponent with both hands. Mr. Bryan
returned the hearty shake which Mr.
Taft had vigorously given him, and
while the two candidates stood for the
moment, looking into each others
faces, the great throngS cheered them
as no two men ever were cheered be
fore under similar conditions.
