HOME TEAM DID fine

Playing in the mud before d
small crowd of enthusiastic fans,
Glenwood Springs yesterday after
noon defeated Salida II to 8. The
first two innings showed fine ball,
then the balloon ascension began.
Four safe ones were made of
Mullins, two innings passed with
out any events worth recording on
the score board, the Salida team
went skywards again, and when
they came out of it Glenwood was
IL to the good. No further scor-
ing was done, but the work in
that inning finished Mullins and
he was retired in favor Of Steltz.
In the eighth inning Glenw ooo S
hoodoo got in its heavy work, and
before it had been chased off the
field Salida had six to the good
and heartened up considera bly,. 1t
was vain hope, however, for
Willett stuck his shoes little
deeper in the sticky mud, and the
show for the visitors ended with
one more run, giving them a total
of eight.

TO DRY c1EAtsshk.

There are silks whose appear
ance is entirely spoiled by wash
ing; for this reason they ought to
be "dry cleaned" The method
is as follows:
Put into basin s. quantity of
benzine and add little dry, efexn
soap. The quantity of benzine and
soap used depends upon the si2e
and number of garments to be
cleaned; but one gallon Of the
liquid is usually enough to clean
three unlined waists, and two
ounces of the soap shonld be quite
enough to gallon. The quantity
of soap depends entirely upon the
defree of soiled matter. in the
clothes.
Mix the soap with the benzins
and also rub some of it on the
dirtiest parts of the garment be-,
fore immersing it. Then place the
waist in the liquid ands queeze
it or gently rub it until quite
clean.
Squeeze out and rinze in clean
benzine; again squeeze tightly
and roll in a cloth and beat well
to remove as much of the liquid
as possible. The garment is like
ly to dry shaded if this is not
thoroughly done. ..<
Shake the garment well to re-
move as many of the creases as
possible, and hang in current of
air to dry until all the spirit ID
evapOrated. >r'N s.1.

This committee will report at
the next meeting.
Mr.. Thorson brought up the atl-
ditorium question. He asked the
appointment Of a committee to
look into the matter, and pointed
out the necessity of such a build
ing.
Mr.. Schwarz suggested that the
gymnasium be combined with the
auditorium.
Mr.. Cohn was given the floor
and outlined his plans for the
structure, which have been pub
lished in the Post in fun, and
which were given close attention
by the board.

building would be money max
er," wasshis statement, "but do
not believe that anyone could lose
money in 1t. -
He then cited the experience OF
Grand Junction to prove this. The
chair appointed the following
committee: Thorson, Cohn, Drach,
Charles Taylor and Rosenberg.
The mayor brought up the ques-
tion of decorating for convention
week and urged that all do some
thing, even though it be but little.
P. II. Van Cleve, a veteran OF
the Civil war, thanked the board
for it's assistance
The necessity of keeping up in
terest and getting out the mem
bers was brought up and an effort
will be made to have an even
larger meeting than was held last
night.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY
ON WESTERN SLOPE

Two men. whose movements are
mysterious and who are now be-
ing sought by secret service
agents. are believed to have flood
ed the western slope and all of
northern Colorado and a part of
Wyoming with bogus $40 bills.
Glenwood Springs is believed tc
have been visited by the smooth
operators, and a secret service
agent is said to be registered at
one of the leading hotels.
So good are the limitations that
it was not until one of them was
picked up by chance by an off
cial of that department, that the
wholesale distribution was learn
ed of. Since then the Office in
Denver has been flooded with
complaints.
No merchant in .Glenwood can
be found who has been victimized
and it is possible that the bogus
money may have passed through
some hands here without their
having been detected.

Buu.p1Na IN a1ENWooD

The work of laying the walls
cf the Presbyterian manse is pro-
crossing nicely and The builti'tl :
will be ready for the roof in about
a week. This is the first concrete
block house to be erected in Glen
wood and considerable interest
centers around the experiment,
for experiment it is so far
as Glenwood is concerned, al
though this style of building has
already become very popular in
many other places. Mr.. j. w:
Crawford, the contractor, has had
considerable experience ir con
crete work and as ne is a very
careful and conscientious work
man, we may expect to see much
more of his work in Glenwood.
Mr.. Crawford has already start
ed an S-room house for Miss Will
liams and it is said that several OF
these cement houses will be built
in Glenwood before the summer
is over.
There is no doubt but that ce-
ment will in the next few years
enter more largely into the con
struction of both residence and
business buildings than ever be-
fore. Let the good work go on,
as Glenwood it in need of many
of these substantial structures.

WoODMEN HONOR
THEIR DEAD

Notwithstanding the jnclement
weather, the local members of the
Woodmen of the World and the

day afternoon at their hall and
proceeded in conveyances to Rose
bud cemetery where they carried
out the beautiful memorial cere-
monies Of these orders in unveil-
ing the monuments erected by the
orders over the graves OF depart

During the past year the Wood
men have not been called upon to
mourn the loss of any of the men,
bers of the local camp, but Glen
dale circle, Women of Woodcraft,
has not been so fortunate, and
during the year three Of it's mem
bers have answered the summons
to a higher life and the monu-
ments erected by the order to the
memory of these three sisters were
unveiled with the beautiful cere-
monies of the order, and the
graves of these and other mem
bers decorated with flowers.
The three deceased members
whose monuments were unveiled
are Nellie Tinsley Prime, Jane

0y the r81lT O&bOB. "A TepOIL Will
A pleasant feature of the meet
ing, and one that all enjoyed, was
the fine dinner served by the la
dies of the Episcopal church, after
which the business session was
called to order by President c. G.
Parks.
Reading of the minutes, which
were approved, was followed by
the report of the advisory board.
This showed that a semi-weekly
rate to Redstone, that should
prove an inducement to travel,
had been secured for the summer
from the Rio Grande road, and
that one-day trips would be inau-
gurated as soon as the patronage
would justify the expense.
Advisory Committee Report.
Reference was made to the
good fellowship excursion to
Grand Junction, and the belief eX-
pressed by the committee that al
ready good results have followed
from it.
The matter of the Western
Slope congress is being held in
allegiance for the present.
With reference to an auditori-
um, the report of the advisory
committee was strong and em-
phatic in it's language, urging
upon the board the necessity for
such a gathering place.
A resolution limiting debate by
any one member on any one sub
ject to five minutes, with two min
ntes for reply, was read and pass
ed with the adoption of the re-
port. In the case of out of town
speakers this rule is not to apply.
1t was brought ont that $40 had
been collected by the committee
appointed by the advisory board
to aid the veterans in celebrating
Memorial day, and that there is
a balance of sc in the treasury
which was by unanimous vote
transferred to the general fund OF
the board.
DIR. Fletcher reported that
Leadville had promised to see
that those who go on the good
fellowship excursion are we'll
cared for, and Secretary Overlook
today went to Gypsum and Ea-
gle to work up enthusiasm over it
The start is to be made at eight
O'Clock and the return at 30 the
same evening. There is no set
program at Leadville, the visitors
simply overrunning the city. The
special is due back here at IL :3C
o'clock.
DR.. Fletcher, Ed. Wallace, c.
NJ. Keck and II. Exter were ap.
pointed a committee to see that
the full complement of 100 is Sc
cured for the trip.
Drach Talks Band.
Mayor Drach then took the
floor and made a plea for the
band, which he wants to go on
the trip.
GAS you know" he explained
81 am ascrank on this subject
And / wish to say this: That the
band is in: very promising condi
tion. They are willing to donate
their services if the board will
pay their expenses. And bant
adds much to such n trip"
The motion was seconded by
Senator Taylor, and then Mr.. FIX
ten announced that the rate fol
the band would be only 1925 fol
the round trip.
Mr.. Thorson suggested publi'
subscription as a means for de
fraying the expenses Of the band

sion to outline one thing clearly

must know that when they pay
their fifty cents for the supper,
that is all the money they will be
asked to give.
Town Should Hire.
+ Mr.. Taylor thought that the
town should employ the band,
pay it "A salary and instruct it to
go ON all such excursions. He
asked Mayor Drach if the town
| board had made a contract with
the boys yet, and if not, he want
ed to know if they were going to.
He made the assertion that pass
ing around the hat every day or
two was getting very tiresome.
| The mayor somewhat warmly
defended the position Of the town
board, saying that it had already
appropriated 81 600 for the bene-
fit and good of the board of trade,
, and then launched into state
ment of the towns financial con-
dition. "'The town board is will
ing to give literally, but the town
ing to give liberaly, but the
town is too poor was the bur-
den of his speech. which led Mr..
Keck to suggest that the true soln-
tion of the getting funds" prob
| lem lay not in subscription, but
in taxation.
Subscription or Taxation.
He also suggested that special
evy for advertising purposes
night be made, ana IN this way
nonresident property owners
.ould be made to help out materi-
ally. He mentioned the names of
two or three wealthy land hold
ers who are nOn-residents, and
said he knew that they would be
glad to aid.
Major DeLan thought that each
one who is going on the excursion
should be asked to give 25 cents
toward the expenses Of the band,
but Jack Worries had an idea thai
this would frighten away any
who might be planning on going.
The matter was finally referred
to the committee on arrange
ments.

company was read, relative to the

points, which concluded with the
words, "Your Mr.. Dickson is
fully informed. Ask him to eX.
plain to the board" !"
Mr.. Dickson addressed the
board briefly, saying that he was
not fully Informed, but that he
understood the situation about as
follows: The rate on coal be-
tween Canon City and Walsen-
burg had been reduced. which is
the same as raising it for the To-
cal operators; that rates for the
West had been SO adjusted that
it left the local men "sewed up

gested committee be appointed
to get full information, after
which the board might take the
matter up and resolutions be

desired.

NUTS FOR THE LAWYERS.

If coming events cast their shadows
before, the Omaha Water board is pre-
pairing to supply more nuts for the law
yers. Through its semi-official mouth
piece the Water board that
as Dol as 1t can get a full meeting
after the return of one of its high
priced LAWYERS from his annual jaunt to
Europe, it will proceed to lay the foun-
dalton for another lawsuit by promul-
eating anew the old rate schedule
knocked out in the courts two years
ago.
The water company declares that it
does not recognize the right of the city
to change existing rates while the COM
pulsory purchase case remains pending
in the courts. 1t goes without saying
that even if the city's rights were es-
tablished the water company would OBJ
ject to IN reductions unless based
upon the valuation set by the board of
appraisers. The old rates we're based
on an estimated value of $3,50O,000
and to uphold these rates the Water
board would have to establish their
reasonableness. Further than this the
Water boards attorneys are on record
in an official opinion that the water
company after the expiration of the
twenty-five years on September "a has
no right to occupy the streets at all
with its pipes or to serve water to it's
patrons at any price whatever.
All this means plenty of points for
dispute between the lawyers hired by
the city and the lawyers hired by the
water company, and interminable court
costs and attorneys fees, all paid by
the people of Omaha either in the form
of taxes or of water rates. It's nuts
for the lawyers. is it any wonder that
the beneficiaries of this controversy on
both sides want to keep up the fight
and oppose every suggestion for get
ting together?

Boosting Spectacular Theories.

Kansas City star una. rep).
Faith in the political sincerity of Mr..
Bryan undergoes its severest strain when
his attitude toward new and spectacular
issues is compared with his attitude to-
ward old and essential policies. In his two
other campaigns he completely subordi-
mated the great questions of tariff reform
and trust regulation to free silver. i'm

was seeking republican votes on these new
questions.
And II Mr.. Bryan gives commanding
prominence to the bsnk guaranty issue in
this campaign, at the expense of such
great subjects as the tariff, the trusts. the
income tax, the election of senators by
popular vote, the regulation of railroads
ON some of which he has a distinct ad-
v~antage-he will again betray his lack of
craftsmanship and once more fill the role
OF the opportunist seeking advancement
on issues that make a strong superficial
appeal to the m~ssses-until the masses
have had time to digest them.
In the compulsory guaranty issue Mr..
Bryan has discovered a new medicine, -
and he is urging It with characteristic zeal
and ~eloquence and FEASIBILITY. But II the

oaorEs tLEvGIASDs LAsrM MESSAGE

Grover CLEVELAED'S LAST MESSAGE.
The American people have Just re-
ceived their last message from the late
Grover Cleveland. and II is a message
as significant as any which he ever
sent to them as president Of the United
States.
This message is a cordial endorse
ment of the high qualifications of
William Howard Taft for the chief ex-
ecutive office of the nation and a
prediction of republican success in the
coming presidential election. The
message, which has now been given to
the public, was written by Mr.. Cleve-
land Just before his death as one of
three articles on the political cam
paign of 1908, which he had planned
writing. but of which he completed
only the first.
MIR. Cleveland's tribute to Mr.. Taft,
aside from the weight it must carry
because of it's source, should command
general attention. He says:
Personally aud officially, ! have had the
opportunity Of knowing many things con-
corning Mr.. Taft that were not a matter
OF general knowledge, and with a keen in,
terest / have watched his large share
In the conduct of our national affairs in
very recent years. His excellence as a
federal judge in Cincinnati is something
not to be underestimate or overenipha-
sized, for should he come to the presidential
chair the qualities which made him a Judge
- IT. an 4 I I---. Ag-. =. A,.-.
been. will be the most needful to him as
president OF the United States. His high
ideals of honesty and of relative justice,
his great capacity for severe labor, and his
humorous wisdom in the face Of the serious
problems are attributes. equally valuable
and commendatory to a people seeking him
in whom they may repose the trust of their
collective interests while they turn their
increased attention to their pressing in
dividual demands.
Mr.. Cleveland goes on to say that
for the great problems involved in our
handling of our far eastern posses
sions and in the completion of the
Panama canal, Mr.. Taft is possessed
Of the knowledge requisite to deal with
them "as is no other man in the
country"
Such an endorsement as this ought
to count for something with an en-
ployer seeking the right man for a
difficult task. The American people
are in the position of seeking a public
servant to perform for them for the
next four years the onerous duties i'm
posed on the official head of a nation
of 10000, 600 people. They will make
no mistake in recognizing the testi-
monial to Mr.. Taft given by Mr.. Cleve-
land and casting their votes at the
November election for the republican
standard bearers.
