here will recollect A. G. Mahan when
he was a resident of Grand Junction.
Mr.. Mahan is brother-in-law of Wal

formerly prominent in Woodmen and
knights of Pythias circles.
The gentleman removed from Grand
Junction to Salt Lake City several
years ago and has been prospering
there since. The following taken from
the Inter Mountain Republican will be
of interest to Mr.. Mahan's many
| friends, as showing that he has at last
evidently found the terminal of the
rainbow OF mining and is on the high
road to fortune.

KNOWLES
CONVICTED

This morning Officer Charles
Knowles, on duty in the railroad
yards, was arraigiIed in police court
for trial on the charge of using abus-
i've language to a striking maclhinfst
named White, the latter claiming that
the officer called him a certain kind of
liar without sufficient provocation
and White straightway swore out a
warrant against the officer.
The defense was represented by At
torney Halderman while City kttor-
ney Rozzelle was in charge of the
prosecution.
The officer said he called the man Il
liar. but used no adjectives to indi-
cate the kind of a liar he thought
White was. and called him a liar in
regard TO a matter foreign to the
matter White claims was under dis
cussion at the time he was called IA
liar.
Several Witnesses were introduced
by the defense. The officer is sup
posed to have used the abusive Ian
guage in conversation with White
and some other strikers on Main
street Friday morning concerning the
arrest of striker, William Coleman.
After hearing the evidence and the
arguments, Judge Hill rendered a de-
cision finding the officer guilty as
charged, assessing fine of 50 and
costs and then suspended the SEN
tence and released the officer.

WANT THE court
TO CONDEMN WATER

This afternoon condemnation pro-
|ceedings against the water of Hannah
creek held by over 12O land holders
in that section of the county, were
filed in the district court of Mesa
county by the city of Grand Junction.
through its special counsel, James S.
Carnahan and Straud NJ. Logan.
The notices of the proceedings will
be served on the great number of land
owners and water holders in a very
few days. The greater number of
these citizens reside on the stream and
own ranches, while some of the men
against whom the proceedings are be-
ing brought reside in Grand Junction.
The condemnation proceedings will
be given hearing by Judge Shackle-
ford of the district court on June %.
when the court will again convene
in adjourned session.
For "A long perica these condemna-
ton papers have been in course of
preparation and We're held up for a
time owing to the set back given the
mountain water proposition by the de-
feat of the bonds in the election last
fall.
However, the city council has de-
termined to go ahead with the noun
tain water proposition and the con-
demnation proceedings are again talk
en- up and will be pushed as rapidly
as possible.
The city will endeavor to secure the
title to 300 inches of water.
This step is a most important one
in the work of securing a mountain
water system for Grand Junction.

ADE's SLANG WORRIES THEM.
pIamatst's "Americanisms" "Stumpr
 British Theatregoers.

From the Kansas City Star.
 If "The College Widow" which Henry W. Savage is presenting in London, has taught the native Britisher anything 1t is that the American language, as regards certain purple patches of it, is foreign tongue. The audiences at the Adelphi, while keenly enjoying the show, are still struggling manfully with George Ade's S line of talk.
 The management of the American farce have done all in their power to help the English theatre-goer to some sort of an appreciation of American slang "a la Ade." For instance, with every pro- gramme they give a glossary explaining the plain English English of such choice bits as "a web-footed rube," "cutting up didoes' and "sick the widow on him." But, although this document is studied as- siduously by the audience, they know very little more after than they did before reading it. For one thing, the dialogue and incidents move too rapidly for the mental processes of our British cousins. This even, despite the fact that the pace ilds DSefi COHSlutIdDly lowered since the dress rehearsal. The players now take things slowly, judged from the American standard, to give the audience an oppor- tunity of understanding some of the Chi cago humorists best efforts. But in vain. The audience goes into convulsions at every performance over the compelling humor of the play, the humor that makes the whole world kin," and which is independent of the slang. but it does not and cannot appreciate the slang. The lines that were always good for a laugh in the United States here pass by un- noticed. It Is all absolutely lost on the British audience. It rolls off their com prehension like water off a ducks back. Stub" Talmage, who can't open his mouth without emitting delicious piece of slang gets ripples of encouraging mirth only from the Americans in the audience But "Bub' Hicks, the ''web-footed rube, and the Hon. Elam Hicks, both. of Squan- tumville, who wouldn't know a choice bit or slang If 1t came up to them in the street and shook them by the hand, can't come on the stage without burst of joy ous rapture from the stalls, the pit, the balcony and the gallery.
 All the slang that even George Ade at his best is capable of writing could never have made the play a success if it did not have the elements of universal humor.

the case of Colonel Stewart is strange, for he did what thousands of other good citizens do on occasion. No plumbers bill goes unquestioned, and doubtless Colonel Stewart did no more in that direction than his neighbor would have done under like provoca- ton.
 The Presidents position in the Stew art case seems to contradict his gen. eral position touching predatory wealth and trusts and the like. On the face of things inconsistency appears, and in the meanwhile Colonel Stewart is in exile at an abandoned fort 45 miles from a railroad, where his sole com panions are a caretaker, a cook and thousands of coyotes. But republics are proyertially ungrateful.

From Chicago to Savannah

The opening on May 30 of a direct through line for both passengers and freight from the sea to the great lakes via this city is an event that Birming ham proposes to celebrate in an appro- priate manner. It is an event that deserves public recognition and appre- citation.
 Birmingham has long enjoyed excel lent railroad facilities, but the opening of frst-class line from Chicago to Savannah wonderfully broadens and rounds out this city's railroad advant- ages. Through sleepers and modern dining car service will be placed on the new line, so that a passenger can make the trip with ease and comfort Even the delegates to the Chicago conven- ton will be carried to the end of their journey without change of cars.
 When it is remembered that the mas ter mind at the head of the Chicago Savannah line also controls the Union Pacific it is seen at once that Birming- ham is about to acquire a service that will be practically trans-continental, extending from San Francisco via Salt Lake City, Omaha and Chicago to Bir- ninpham and Savannah. The travel ing public and the shippers will soon acquire an appreciation of Birming- bam's new acquisition.

It contains appropriations for new government buildings in Ensley, Eufaula, Talladega, Gadsden, Montgom- cry, Troy, Cullman, Opelika and Mo bile.

BACK AGAIN AT NICOTINE.

From the New orK GlODe.
 Tobacco smoke has been accused of harboring so many deadly drugs one after another that the devotee of nicotiana tabacum might be excused for doubting the presence of any poison whatever in his favorite weed. 1t certainly cannot contain them all. First the laboratory experts dilated upon the extreme dead Illness of nicotine-"a single drop on a rabbits tongue causing the abrupt and immediate death of that animal" The smoker expressed mild surprise and was politely interested, but went on smoking Then the laboratoryites started on a new tack.
 We find" they said, ''that it really isn't the nicotine which poisons you, after all, but its decomposition products, the things 1t oxidizes or burns to after the cigar is lighted"
 "Ha," said the devotee, that's what call real science" and then recalled the laboratoryites' first story to the effect that only two or three substances in the world are more poisonous than nicotine. "Hence, these decomposition products you have discovered must be an improvement on the nicotine" he concluded.
 This the scientists were constrained to admit. Not discouraged, however, they soon brought out the results of a new in- vestigation under the scare head, "Prussc Acid in Tobacco Smoke'-this being one of the two or three things more poisonous thar nicotine. Still the consumption of tobacco continued unabated. Then they tried choke damp and fire damp, those dreaded mine gases. and sulphuretted hydrogen, the aroma of which has ren- dered the senile egg infamous The smok- CTS had by this time become pretty well hardened, and didn't pay much attention to these new "discoveres.'
 In the current issue of the Medical Rec ord the statement is quoted from Ger man weekly that the scientists have resurrected nicotine again. One Herr Leh- man has "come to the conclusion that, after all, 1t is nicotine that gives rise to the well known effects of smoking" So here we are back at the point from which we started some dozen or more years ago, after a thrilling trip through consider able region in the pharmacopoeia and the toxicologies The excursion is of interest to philosophers as well as tobaccontSts

Colonel Stewart and the Plumber

r-CoIonel Stewart has been declared temperamentally ineligible for service in the army. After he had served his country 40 years in that branch of the service, rising step by step to colo nelcy, 1t was suddenly discovered that he was temperamentally unfit and that the colonels below him should be jumped over him to become brigadier generals at least, while the veteran of 40 years service should be sent into exile on cactus desert In Arizona.
 This fate overlook him, it appears, because he had quarreled with plumber. To quarrel with a plumbers bill has long been fad of citizens that are not in a position to be declared temperamentally unfit. It has, indeed, been considered sign of sanity and to question such bills and to indulge in remarks touching the desire of the particular beneficiary of the pill to own the earth. This is\why

Is there no play,
Mir, Bryan'S Nomination Assured.

The friends of Mir Bryan are sitting steadily in the popular boat, and on Monday next every man of them who is able to go anywhere will go to the polls to register an "X' opposite the honored name of the great Nebraskan. They will in that way demonstrate his popularity in every county in this state.
 So it is in all the other states. In New York and Pennsylvania the dele gates-at-large go uninstructed, but the district delegates selected in district primaries are almost to a man support CTS of William Jennings Bryan. The egates-at-large from the two states number but eight all told, while the district delegates are 135 strong. The unit rule is freely used in democratic national conventions, and it doubtless will be employed to hand the solid vote of the two big states over to MT. Bryan.
 John Albert Johnson has carried Minnesota, 24 delegates, and it would puzzle his friends to put their fingers on "A more scattered delegates, for he has carried no other state. All the states that surround Minnesota have instructed their delegates to vote for MT Bryan-the two Dakotas, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan. As things stand and are going there will be no ballot at Denver Mir Bryan will be made the standard bearer of the party by exclamation, but Alabama may have an opportunity to cast it's 22 votes for him before motion is made to make him the candidate by exclamation.
