SmOkeleSs Powder Machines

One of the most successful enter
prises in Brunswick, Germany, Is the
manufacture OF machines for the pro-
duction Of smokeless powder. The firm
has recently received important orders.
not only from European but more dis
tant countries, for the equipment of
factories for the manufacture of smoke
less powder, gun wool, dynamite,
eelluloid, etc. In these plans the gun
wool or collodion wool is manipulated
with mixture of cotton and sulphuric
acid and changed into gun wool, which
is the basis for the celluloid and the
artificial silk employed in the manufac-
ture Of smokeless powder. The firm
claims that this process was first made
use of by their nitrate centrifugal,
which has been so improved that the
conversion of the ingredients into
smokeless powder takes only half an
hour to an hour.

led beneath the Swedish church which
ad1oins the once notorious "Ratcliff
Highway" now metamorphosed into
respectable st. George street. He lies
beside another distinguished Swede,
DR.. Solander, the disciple of Linnaeus,
and fellow laborer in botany with Sir
Joseph Banks, who sent the first lee
turer on natural science to Oxford. The
Swedish church was the scene of the
last "sumptuary law" on dress promul-
gated in England. On Sunday, Septem-

prohibiting all natives of Sweden from
wearing gold or silver lace on their

THE ORGAN aR1NDR.

Not SO many years ago organ
grinding was a fair weather bust
ness and one to be suspended in
the winter months, as for instance
building once was. But now,
with more capital invested, as in
the big modern piano organs that
are carted about on wheels, the
organists can't afford to lie idle
1T all, so they keep on going the
year around and in all weathers.
Here was an organ outfit COM
ing along the street now in a
pouring shower, with the rain a
splashing and the organ crashing
grinding out the newest and lat
est tunes. And the man at the
crank was certainly getting pref
ty wet, but the organ was secure
ly shielded by waterproof COW
er, and the collector, the man who
looks around and up at the win
dows for the contributions had OH
rubber coat that came down to
his heels and sou 'wester.
These men were not going to
let their capital rust because the
day was showery, and whether it
was the enterprise they showed
or the tunes they played or the
sight Of the collector in rubber
coat and sou'wester that drew the
nickels, they seemed to be doing
as well in the rain as they might
have done in fair weather.-New

MOT GUILTY"
SAYS THOMAS

From Wednesdays Daily Post.
Aspen, June 24.-Sheriff Begley
arrived this morning from Basalt
with John Thomas, who is charg-
ed with the theft of one calf, said
to be the property of David Huff.
He was brought to this town, hav-
ing taken change of venue from
Carbondale. He declares that the
animal he killed was his property
and that he is guilty of no crime.
To a representative of the Post
he said upon his arrival:
81 am not guilty of the crime
with which 1 am charged, and I
can prove it at my preliminary
hearing. There is nothing to the
charge, and / attribute it to spite
work on the part of my enemies.
The train being late, the party
was compelled to stay over night
in Basalt. The date of the pre-
liminary hearing has not yet been
set, as District Attorney Gentry
is in Meeker, and will not be in
Aspen for several days.

he waited several days without
saying anything about the matter,
thinking that Morehouse would
give it back at any time.
He characterized the disappear
ance Of the level AZ "a plain case
Of stealing"
Morehouse said that he had in
advertently packed it in with 9th
er tools, and that when he reach
ed Denver he fully intended to
return it to its owner.
II cannot see how / am guilty
in the eyes of the law" he de-
clared, "for the law says that in
tent to steal shall be the basis of
the charge. I never intended to
steal it, and if I had certain let
tiers here now that are in Denver,
! could prove that I had every in
cntion of returning it."
Asked by Sheriff Zimmerman
what the chest Of tools was doinh
in the shop of a second hand deal
er, Morehouse explained that he.
merely wanted to get dollar or
two on them"
Morehouse has served time in
Buena Vista and in Canon City,
the officers claim, and his record
is now being investigated.

made by members Of the associa-
ton favoring the idea of having
the national association here, and
if the convention is secured, it
means that Glenwood Springs will
have the pleasure of entertaining
from5OO to 600 druggists that
year. The body is meeting at Hot
Springs, Ark, this year, and the
suggestion has been made and
may be followed out that effective
work be done at that place by
some druggist, who will be liber-
ally supplied with Glenwood liter
ature
Among those most enthusiastic
over the idea is Prof. C. 8. N.
Hallberg, who promised every
support in his power, and who
can do much towards attaining
the desired end.
This afternoon the druggists
party Of $50 went to Shoshone,
where they viewed the falls and
the workings Of the Central Colo
RADIO power company.
Prominent members of the or
ganization are delighted with the
reception given them, and are
loud in their praises of the town
and it's attractions and of the hos
pitality of the people.
The next meeting place Of the
organization will be selected by
the executive committee later in
the wear.

NEEDS NO LONELY CLUB

There is one young woman liv-
ing alone in New York who has
hit upon a clever scheme for kill
ing time when she becomes un-
bearably lonely. She has q tele-
phone in her apartment, and her
plan is to call up numbers at ran
dom, then inveigle the person who
answers into q conversation. Of
course she begins by saying, ooh,
I beg pardon; got the wrong
number" Then she usually says,
II hope You were not lying
down." using her most hurt and
apologize tone Of voice. As this
happens usually in the middle Of
the day, that generally starts the
conversational ball rolling, and
thu young woman has q very
pleasant chat with some unknown.
It matters not whether it is q man
or woman who answers the phone,
she has her amusement, but she
admits that the men are the most
interesting Of her unknown
friends at the other end Of the
wire.

In one Of the best games ever
seen ON the local diamond, Crane
Junction won from the Glenwood
Greens yesterday by score Of 3
to 2. 1t was an ideal exhibition
of the national game. Our boys
held down the visitors without .
score until the seventh, when they
got three men across the rubber.
A cog slipped somewhere in the
mechanism, for our hoodoo inning
moved up a peg, it being usually
the eighth when the slaughter
comes for the locals.
Sand struck out the first man
up, and we scored two runs in the
first-and that is all we did score.
Glenwood had eight men left on
bases when the game was ended,
and Grand junction had seven
