NOT A IA PARKER.

There is good deal of talk about Taft going home and spending the summer cutting the grass, weedlng the flower beds and receiving dele gations in his front yard and make them short speeches of welcome.
 This looks like the scheme of some designing Democrat who yet etremem- bers the fate of candidate of his own party who tried this kind of campaigning.
 Judging from the travelling and talking Secretary Taft has done Tn recent years it is not probable that as a presidential nominee of the Republican party he will leave all the talking to others.

II Might Have Beea q TRAGEDY.

A. A. Driscoll was notified
while attending the Democratic
ratification. that a man had been
seen to enter his house He at
once armed himself and repaired
to his domicile to find a door and
window open. He assumed that
the marauder had completed his
work and left. so entered the
house to strike a light. when he
was attacked and struck a severe
blow. The men grappled in the
dark and fought to the rear door,
here the burglar attempted to
shoot Mr.. Driscoll but the latter
grasped the pistol by the barrel
and so diverted it from himself
that when it was discharged he
only sustained burned hand.
The man then broke loose and
ran for the river but became en-
tangled in the wire fence at the
rear of the property and Mr..
Driscoll got in couple of shots,
all he had in the gun. but with
what result is unknown. The
burglar was very enthusiastic in
the matter of getting away and
like to have tore down the whole

A Coed sesd.Oif.

Bill Barbara in the Denver
News writes about Pueblo DEM
ocrat and former member of the
general assembly as follows:
Who knows but Colorado may
send a real author to congressr
John A. Martin, brilliant young
attorney of Pueblo, may be can
didate Tor the Democratic con-
gressional nomination in the
Second district this fall, and John
has written a novel. 1t is called
"The Jayhawkers." and deals with
life in early Kansas. 1t will be
issued sometime in the early fall,
and ! am told by some Pueblo
friends who have seen portions of
the manuscript that it is a rattling
good yarn.
If John can write as good as he
talks can well believe that. He
is one of the best public orators
in the state. In former years he
was locomotive fireman, and
later a newspaper man. He was
studying law all the time, and
eventually was able to hang out
his shingle. Now he has turned
novelist. and here's hoping he will
make as much of a success at that
as he has at other things.
John is a picturesque-looking
individual. He is tall. wears his
hair after the manner of William
Jennings Bryan. and has one Of
those cameo-cut faces that haunt
the memory.

BATHING POOL FOR PAoNIA.
A Company 10 Formed to Construct .
fise Pinnge Bath At the Chinn
Artesian Well.

MS week the hnal steps were
taken in the matter of construct
ing plunge bath at the Chinn
ranch. now operated under lease
by Messrs Moutray and Garvin.
The artesian we'll at that place
has been flowing its splendid
waters to waste for couple of
years and now company of
gentlemen have arranged to luti-
ize the same for a bath house
The company as organized is
ofhcered as follows:
President. Z. w. Moutray; Sec
retary- Treasurer. Tom Dunbar;
Directors, L S. Cofeld. r. J. Huff
and A. ]. Cas,eil, they associated
with the president and secretary
constituting the board.
The bath house will be built
south of the well and the supply
of water is plentiful to secure a
constant change of water. which
is hot and highly mineralized.
The pool will be completed some
time in August and further an
nouncement will be found in this
paper. The enterprise is one that
in our opinion is bound to pay
and at the same time furnish Pa
onia with fine medium of amuse-
ment and healthful pastime. The
individual members of the com.
bination deserve congratulation.
Below we print the analysis Of the
water being by Prof. Headden:
FORT COLLINS, Colo. Oct. 20, '06
Col. c. r. CHINN. PAoNIA. Colo,
MY DEAR SIR:-The water re-
ceived from you being an artesian
we'll water. has been examined to
sufficient extent to answer
your questions.
The odor of the water IS due to
the presence of sulphur in the
form of hydrogen sulphide.
There is also a considerable
amount of free carbonic acid
present
The total mineral matter held
in solution is as follows: Mineral
matter 1869 grains. organic mat
ter. volatile on ignition so grains
in each imperial gallon.
These 1869 grains of mineral
matter consist OF sodic chloride
common sslt.) sodic carbonate
and calcic carbonate.
There is quite large quantity,
relatively so. of magnesia. bu, as
there is almost no sulphuric acid
present, the magnesia is almost
certainly present as carbonate.
and in the quantities present
would have no deleterious effects
even when drank freely.
For drinking purposes you need
have no hesitancy in using it.
Yours truly,
