New York Evening Post dnd).
In his latest analysis OF the causes of his
defeat Mr.. Bryan finds that the republicans
had most of the large metropolitan news
papers on their side. Apparently. they off
set the great influence of the Commoner
and the Staats-zeitung. with the half
hearted support OF the World. But IL Mr..
Bryan would only take time to think q
little more deeply about this press situa-
ton, he might perhaps recall that In 1876
and 1884, and In the later Cleveland cam
paigns, the pick of the Independent press
crdlally supprted thoe democratic ticket.
No president ever had better or more in
nuential American newspapers behind him
than Grover Cleveland. But ever since the
appearance of Mr.. Bryan. this newspaper
support has generally gone to the repub-
licans. Why, Mr.. Bryan should ask him
self. did newspapers like the Times, the
Evening Post, the Springfield Republican,
the Baltimore Sun, and a host of others of
this type refuse to support the democratic
party In 1905? The answer is the same that
must be given when anybody examines
frankly the causes of the democratic de-
feat: Because Mr.. Bryan was the candi-
date. So long as he Is at the head of the
party II will regula ly be defeated, and will
as regularly repel the valuable newspaper
support It could regain by choosing a stable,
trustworthy and s-tatesmanlike leader.

MISS RUTH MoKINNEY'S
DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT

The entertainment last night in
honor of the 18th birthday of Miss
Ruth Mckinney was one of the most
enjoyable social functions of the sea-
son.
The house was prettily decorated
in lavender and white, and the col
ors We're carried out in the birthday
cake and in the ices and mints.
About thirty guests were present,
and the chief amusement was an ami
NAL drawing contest, the prize for
which was not awarded to the best
drawer, but to the one who could
best guess the nature OF the beasts
that their neighbor drew. Thus the
artists were limited to the animal
kingdom. Perhaps the nearness of
election day accounts for the fact
that many of the animals drawn were
symbolic of the two leading parties.

IN LEADVILLE JUBILEE
SINGERS MADE GREAT HIT

On last night and night before last
the famous Williams Dixie Jubilee
Singers appeared in Leadville and on
each night made big hit. as can be
judged by the following from yes
terday's Leadville Herald Democrat:
'It can be truthfully said, and
without rejecting upon past enter
tainments given in Leadville, that
the concert of Williams Dixie Jubi-
lee Singers at the Elks opera house
last night was one of the best of the
kind ever heard in the city.
while the audience was small,
it was appreciative. Every member
on the program was encored with
applause that came from the heart
and reflected the sincere delight the
crowd felt in the work of those on
I the stage. The performance was
long enough to give everybody in the
house an evening of rare enjoyment,
and just brief enough not to be dull.
while the work of some of the
artists may be worthy of special
mention, it would require an expert
critic of music to say which of the
eight excelled in his or her respective
part.
Mime. Virginia Greene. the prima
donna, and j. S. Crabbe, the talented
bass, each possesses a wonderful
range of voice, and caused the audi
ence to marvel at their ability.
Mr.. Williams, the manager, is the
comedian of the company, and is a
show in himself. His efforts were
provoking of hearty laughter, but a,
no time was his fun offensive.
Everyone in the troupe is a star
They show themselves to be well
trained and refined and geniuses OF
high order. Their combination OF
quartets, duets and choruses bring
results equally brilliant with their
personal efforts.
The Jubilee Singers will again be
seen and heard at the Elks under the
auspices of the Presbyterian church
this evening"
On Monday night of next week the
Jubilee Singers will appear at the
Methodist church in Grand Junction
under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.

GRAND JUNCTION HORSES
ARE BEING BADLY TREATED

Editor The Sentinel
1t seems to me that something
should be done in this town in re-
gard to the abuse of horses. Not a
day passes but ones blood fairly
boils at the cruelty of some well
known drivers. Doubtless the own
ers of the horses are in many in
stances entirely unaware of this
abuse.
Certain delivery men make it a
point to linger and talk with the
hired girls along their routes and
then take it out on the poor horse
They go up the streets and alleys
on a dead lope, the driver plying his
whip continually.
l think that, If the ladies of the
town would only interest themselves
in this matter. it could be easily
stopped. Simply refuse to give your
order to any driver who abuses his
horse, and | venture to say that the
practice would stop in short time.
l hear that in one neighborhood
the ladies are organizing for this
purpose. and it is certainly a fne
move.
l am writing this letter, knowing
that The Sentinel stands for right,
and believe you will publish it for
the sake of the poor abused horse

WHAT HAS BECOME
OF THE ENGINEER?
Rio Grand Officials and Employees Searching for Strange
Missing Engineer Of Wrecked Tran--Blame for
Collision to be Placed

most mysterious circumstance
surrounding the freight train collis-
lou on the Rio Grande in the Jordan
Narrows Wednesday morning, is the
fact that engineer Thomas j. Lofts,
of one of the trains cannot be found
and up to the latest reports today
mad not been found or seen. 1t will
be remembered that Engineer Nc
Leer of the other colliding train was
killed.
Yesterday special train was mad e
up in Salt Lake and carried scores
of railroad men to the scene of the
wreck to make another search for
the missing railroad man and the
country for miles around was search
ed but without avail.
Yesterdays Salt Lake Herald in
regard to the strange disappearance
and other features of the wreck, said
in part:
Deeper than ever is the maze OF
mystery which envelops the fate OF
Thomas j Lofts, engineer of one of
lhe two Rio Grande freight trains
(which collided headon in the Jordan
Narrows early Wednesday morning.
He is still missing and railroad offic-
ials. his two brothers, friends and
searching parties have been baffled
and puzzled in their strenuous efforts
to get trace of him.
All hope of finding his body under
the piled-up debris of the two wreck
ed trains has been abandoned after
forty-eight hours search among the
ruins. The wreckage has been all
cleared away. and though there is a
possibility that he may have been
buried alive under the seven carloads
of coal which were strewn along the
rails by the collision, ii is not deem
ed probable that such is the case.
One promising clew which holds
out the hope that he is alive and
roaming about the hills near the
scene of the catastrophe, apparently
demented, has stirred the small army
of searchers on to renewed activity.
Two small boys, driving cattle in the
Isolated region near Fort Herriman,
gave the clew late yesterday.
Follow Promising CIew.
Wandering about in a dazed con-
dition, a man who appeared to be de-
mented and talking in a rambling,
incohorent manner was seen by the
two boys while they dere driving
their COWS to pasture along the cattle
track. He approached them and ask
ed the direction to Salt Lake in a
mumbling voice. He stated that he
had been roaming in the mountains
since Wednesday and wanted to find
his way home.

The speaker was fittingly intro
duced by Rev. Davis. of the Baptist
church
The address delivered last night
by Mr.. Wright was one of the most
Interesting and convincing temper
ance addresses ever delivered in
Grand Junction. Mr.. Wright is
most pleasing and entertaining
speaker and at the same time he
presents wonderful array of argu-
ments and facts that startle and hold
the attention of every hearer. He
was not bitter in his remarks but
sought to influence his hearers by
calm, deliberate reasoning. There is
no question but what his address was
most effective. He declared among
other things that he was not seeking
to abridge the personal liberty of any
man, If an individual wanted to drink
he would not attempt to force him
| by harsh means to give up his per-
sonal desires but he declared that he
and the people engaged in the great
contest with him are fighting the
open saloons with their snares and
glitterfng charms intended to entice
young men to leave cleanly lives to
enter into lives of degradation and
ruin. He declared that the man who
naturally wants to drink doesn't care
for the glitter and brilliancy of a
richly appointed saloon, he would
drink in hovel with as much relish
but the glare and glitter of the bril-
liantly appointed saloon is primarily
to entice the youths and men who
are not naturally inclined to drink
Therefore for this reason and many
other reasons. the great fight is wag-
ed on the saloons.
Mr.. Wright has many interesting
statistics showing the remarkable
spread of prohibition in the country
over twenty million people in the
South are under prohibition.
1t was strong and most influen-
tial address that this aggressive and
fearless Georgia statesman made.
Tonight another big meeting will
be held at the auditorium and to-
morrow there will be two, one in the
afternoon and one in the evening.
Big audiences are expected. No ad-
mission charge is made and the meet
ings are open to all.

Information in regard to the
strange, unaccountable actions of the
man was telephoned from Fort Herri-
man to the Rio Grande officials, and
searching party, headed by Lee Lof-
tbs and j. r. Lofts brothers of the
missing engineer. was hurriedly dis
patched to that vicinity to scour the
Mills. Up to a late hour last night
no trace of him had been found, and,
if the man was Engineer Lofts. it is
feared that he was not able to sur
vive the stormy night.
Confirmation to the belief that the
strange-acting man was Lofts Is lent
by the fact that he was clad in the
familiar garb of railroad men, grimy
and greasy overalls. No tramps infest
that region and the two boys are ac-
| quainted with all the cattlemen who
| live there.

place The responsibility for the collis-
ion is to be instituted under the sup
ervision of Assistant Superintendent

ing the debris and clearing the tracks
for the past two days.

General superintendent Ernest
Stenger of the Rio Grande road, said:
I'VE are all completely baffled by
the mystery which surrounds the
whereabouts of Engineer Lofts. We
have been able to get absolutely no
trace of him in the wreckage. The
ruins We're all cleared away, new rails
spiked in place and new ties put in
early yesterday. so that the tracks
were clear for traffic at o'clock yes
terday morning.
1T is barely possible that LOFTS
may have been buried under the
seven cars of coal which were piled
up along the tracks. We have dug
through a good part of that, but we
do not look to find his body there.
THE official investigation to place
the blame of the collision will be
started Friday morning, under AS
sistant superintendent Apperson We
have found that the dispatcher's ord

NEW SHOPS START
NEW TOWN

The Press some time ago pub
lished report that the grade sepa
ratio fight here had shifted flu
ture railway activities in this re-
gion to Standpoint, Idaho. Here
some more of the evidence.
Fred B. Grinnell in a few days
will open the new town of Koo-
'enai, situate at the north end of
Pend d'Oreille lake, Idaho, adjoin-
ng Standpoint The proposed town
will be upon a fiat plain three miles
n extend fronting on the lake.
1t is claimed to be the natural
gateway of three transcontinental
'ailways-the Northern Pacific,
treat Northern and Canadian Pa
,ific.
The deep waters in front of the
townsite afford steamship connec-
tons with more than 800 miles of
shore line. Millions of feet of
timber are being RATED upon the
lake 10 the Dig mills adjacent TO
the townsite.
The Humhird Lumber Co. mill
lies but short distance away and
also the Panhandle smelter and
Northern Pacific shops. The shops
are now being rushed to compile
ton by large force of men and
are to be completed by February
l, 1909. The railroad company is
expanding 100000.
Mr.. Grinnell predicts that within
few months 125 train crews
daily will run into the new town
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
being one of the lines.
