AT DEPENDABLE STORE
SPRING OPENING AT GOLDEN
BERG'S BEGINS TODAY.

The spring millinery opening at Golden
berg's on 18th street and the showing of
new spring outerwear brought out
crowds of visitors today, despite the bad
weather conditions prevailing.
The most important feature of the
stores springtime display, it is conceded,
is the millinery opening, an event which
cannot fail to strike responsive chord
in every feminine heart, and all who
journey to Goldenberg's this week will
be highly grat;hed at the comprehensive
showing of beautiful trimmed and un-
trimmed millinery on display
Probably no other season brought forth
such diversity of styles. The keynote
of the seasons modes is becomingness
The hats shown by Goidenbergs are in
such picturesque beauty of detail as to
guarantee becomingness to every woman
whether she may elect to wear large
medium or small shape.
Among the new shapes will be seen the
RUSSIAN turbans, with their smart and
chic side feather trimmings. and the new
Charlotte Corday. which is very short in
'front.'. permitting the brim to fall softly
over the hair. There are large hats. the
prettlest of which have slight roll off
the left side. Many new and extremely
beautiful sailors are shown, from the
small to the very large.
Nothing could be more beautiful than
the flowers which are used SO lavishly
for trimmings. Among those which lead
in popular favor are red peoples. natural
looking cherries. stately American beauty
roses. red geraniums, purple, blue and
white hyacinths. purple and white wis
taria. pink hydrangeas and all kinds of
foliage.
For the popular stiff hats trimmings of
large wings and high feather effects are
used. and in many instances are COM
bined with colored velvet ribbons
Leading Fashion Makers.
Godenberg's artists have adapted the
leading styles of the most famous fash
ion makers. both at home and abroad.
and the result is seen in the immense
gathering of beautiful hats, which won
the unstinted approval of every visitor
today.
Goldenberg's millinery, it is claimed.
has won an enviable reputation, and the

1t is recalled by some of the friends of
Mr.. Smith that in speaking of expendi-
lures made on the occasion of funerals
he said he would like when his time
came that instead of money being spent
for flowers to be placed about his casket
ii should be used in paying off the small
sums which had been borrowed through
him from the charitable fund of the
Church of the Covenant by people who
through stress OF poverty had endeavored
in that way to provide for an emergency
and who were struggling to meet their
obligations and 10 repay to the last cent

''The Blood is the Life"
Science has never gone beyond
the above simple statement of
scripture.T But it has Illuminated
that statement and given it a
meaning ever broadening with the
increasing breadth OF knowledge.
When the blood ic bad or i'm
pure it is not alone the BODY which
suffers through disease. The brain
is also clouded, the mind and iudg-
ment are affected, and many an evil
deed or impure thought may be di-
rectly traced to the impurity of
the blood. Foul. impure blood can
be made pure by the use of Dr.
Pierces Golden Medical Discov-
cry. 1t enriches and puri6es the
blood, thereby curing pimples,
blotches. eruptions and other cuta-
neous affections, as eczema, letter
or salt rheum. hives and other
manifestations of impure blood.

Death OF . pieasss.

John Luke, the veteran cowboy,
who was known to most of the pion-
eer stOckmen of Colorado under the
soubriquet of Dutch John," died
on Monday morning at his ranch on
Sand Greek, north of Carlton. Some
time ago Luke was seriously injured
in runaway accident. and it is pre-.
sumed that the Injuries then received
hastened his death.
Luke was O. years Of age and had
been a resident of the Arkansas Val
ley almost since the close of the civi
war. He did valiant service in the
union ranks during the war. and al
its conclusion took up the life oe {

CUBAN CHARACTER.

cans May Have Misconceptions.

id Max J. Baehr. United States con-
at Cienfueeos. Cuba. to a Wash

! class Cuhans with Central Ameri-
his as lovers Of strife and as con-
antlv prone to ins',rrection. I az
n know. am stationed in the hot
q of recent revolutionary uprlslnss
the island. and the troubles have
7r due TO the feeling on the part
the natives that thew we're not to
GIVE their political rights and not
an insurrectionarv spirit.
On the whole, there is no better
,acter to be found anywhere than
pf the Cuban. The majority Of

The CubanS are temperate pe0-
ple," continued Mr. Baehr. "They do
not drink intoxicants, unless you call
their coffee intoxicating, for they
make that very strong, and drink it
six, seven or eight times a day, al
though, Of course, not large cups at a
time.
"The Cubans appeared to be satis-
fled with the workings of the new
election law created by Colonel Crow
ther. They realize that by it they
will get their rights, and after the last
election they acquiesced quietly and
seemed satisfied. I think that was all
that was necessary for them to be-
come convinced that the law would
bring honest results.
"Therefore I believe these inter-
views coming from Americans who
have an imperfect knowledge Of con-
ditions. saying that there probably
will be another insurrection in Cuba,
are untrue and unjust. I shall not at
tempt to predict the outcome Of the
approaching election. Both parties
have nominated' able men for presi-
dent and vice-president, and the elec-
ton may be quite close. In either
event I am confiden, the result Will
be accepted by the people in law
abiding spirit. The present admins
tration Of the island has been exceed
ingly successful. Mr.. Magoon has
shown great shrewdness and tact and
the people are convinced they will
get their rights"
