1t is quite evident that the minds of
most Congressman are more fixed on
their districts than on the welfare of the
whole country, so it is Just as well
that Congress should adjourn early for
all the good it will do. The Republican
majority cannot even agree on appro-
priation bills, let alone such matters ~
emergency currency, but all Republicans
are agreed to dodge revising the tariff.

there being very few beginning
with less than $50. Two vacan-
cies now exist.
The commission reports that the
number of applicants is constantly
increasing, and this is to be ex-
expected. AS in New York and
Illinois they often have ten times
as many applicants as there are
positions to fill, when applicants
come to understand the advantage
of positions that are permanent
and where promotion is assured,
the same thing will undoubtedly
happen here. At present, however,
a competent applicant is almost
sure of position.

on request and those interested
in these or other positions should
write at once.

STATE CIVIL SERVICE
WANT APPLICANTS.

Civil service in Colorado is a
new thing, so new in fact, that
people seeking employment are
apparently afraid of it. Under the
old regime, when appointments
were made at the pleasure of the
heads of the various institutions.
one often heard the charge by
disappointed applicants that pull
did it all. But now that the only
way these positions can be filed at
all is by civil service examinations.
open to all alike, there seems to be
scarcity of good material This
lack of applicants is caused parti-
ally by the lingering hope of the
Job seeker that there surely must
be some way of dodging the exam
ination and getting in by the back
door" in spite of the law. But
the civil service commission is
treating the law as reality and
not as a Joke.
The position Of nurse-attendant
in the state insane asylum at
Pueblo furnishes striking ex-
umpl" OF this. There are four or
five "acuncirs at the present time
and not sufficient applicants to fill
them if they should all pass. To be
sure the salary is not large, but
when it is considered that board,
room and many incidental living
expenses are furnished free which
would otherwise cost from $50 to
$40 per month, and that in add
tion the appointee receives salary
Of from S25 to $50 a month at the
very start, the compensation is fair.
the examinations given ought to be
the least of an applicants troubles,
as any school boy or girl of l6
would consider them snap as
far as the scholastic part is con
cerned; that is, spelling, arith-
metic and writing Besides these,
two other subjects are given, re-
quiring that sometimes uncommon
qualification, common sense. In
one the candidate listens while the
examiner reads an order to do
something which he as "A nurse
attendant, might have to do. Then
he writes down the substance of
that order. Under the other sub
iect the candidate answers ques-
tions in regard to Sthe tasks and
duties of the position he seeks.
The asylum desires the services of
those who have had at least six
months previous experience.
There are two more positions
seeking applicants at the present
time, experienced nurse and ma
tron The duties of the first are
caring for the sick, at salary of
about $50 per month and main
tenance. The salary is not large,
but the commission does not ex-
pect to secure trained or registered
nurses, although such would be
practically certain of employment
Many of the state institutions need
"A practical nurse to look after
minor cases and care for the sick
when thern are any, under the
direction ii physician. The
work is pleasant and the duties
usually light.
Almost all the state institutions
employ matrons of one kind or
another. These positions all re-
quire knowledge of housekeeping.
Besides this, at the boys indus
trial school, candidate must
understand boys and how to man
age them, even the real bad ones,
while at the girls industrial school
one must know how to manage
girls of all classes and conditions
AT the children's home the lnatron
has both sexes to deal with at ages
ranging from those lust arrived
to IL or II years. Likewise such

Cattle Market Dull.

Union Stock Yards. Denver
July 6.-The market was dull last
week and prices are sharply lower
as "A result of demoralized condi-
tions at all eastern points Good
cattle are off Poe to SOC from ten
days ago while the commoner
grades are anywhere from soc to
Toe lower. Steers sold mostly at
So to $3.50 for the good kinds
though some North Park grass
finished stuff brought So and 81 O5

dry lot steers sold late in the week
at S6 10 Early in the week good
North Park cows brought S4.T5
but later pretty good grade OF
stuff went at $3.50 to S4.55 and the
bulk of the better killers sold from
this down to 81 Bulls brought
S275 to So 30 and veals went at
So to S5.75 Feeder and stocker
trade was very light as both sup
ply and demand continue light.
The tendency of prices was lower
but there was no very great change
on the best kinds Common steers
are very slow sale.
/ Hog prices were well sustained
throughout the week and values
now range from So to S6.l5 here.
Demand is very good and the
supply last week was light
Sheep prices are 25c to 35c
lower than week ago as a result
of lower markets at eastern points.
Good spring lambs sold last week
at So. 5.S5 to SIS and ewes at 81 to
S4.15. The demand here is very
fair for the good killers.
