criticism of those who look on and the
good work is thereby hindered. In
Denver Nobody looks on; everybody Is
at work. The only rivalry is in seeing
who can bring his work to a success
full conclusion first. This is the Den
yer system" which has made her name
famed wherever civic enterprise Is
valued.
The mayor of the city, r. W. Speer
has been nearly twenty years connect
ed with the city government in some
important capacity. He is probably
the best informed man on municipal
matters in the whole country and he
works full time every day and every
man on the city's pay roll either works
or is discharged. The president of the
chamber of commerce, E. l.. Scholtz,
is a young man long experienced in
the needs of the city and enthusiastic
in making Denver the greatest met
ropolis of the west. Associated with
Mr.. Scholtz in his labors is w. F. r.
Mills, secretary, master OF detail and
executive force, who is capable of
turning out more work in a day than
any three men in similar positions in
any city of the country. The various
committees of this organization are
composed of alert men of business who
look only TO getting the best results.
The Colorado delegation IN congress
have much to do with the work for the
betterment of Denver. Senator Simon
Guggenmeim keeps a man employed at
mis- own expense studying questions
concerning Denvers improvement and
suggesting legislation that Will serve
to benefit the city. Senator II. NJ.
Teller. for more than twenty years in
the senate from this state, has made
tiring in his efforts for the city's well
fare. Governor II. A. Buchtel, chan
cellor of the Denver university, is one
of the most persistent promoters of
Denvers welfare in the city.
The secret of the success of these
men is that they work together. When
ever any movement is begun for the
good OF the city they all join. When
a committee was in Washington in
February trying to secure the meeting
of the national Democratic committee
they pledged 100000 to help pay the
expenses of the convention. Following
the pledges there came kilograms from
wealthy Denver men, personally guar
anteeing the sum- Senator Guggen-
helm. many times A millionaire, and
half dozen other residents of Den
yer, although Republicans. pledged
themselves for the full amount and the
day was won.
Students of municipal government
who have come here TO learn "the Den
YER way" say that the whole secret of
the city's success is in the inspiring
watchword and optimistic motto keep
something going all the time"

Some time since the city council OF
Huron. directed the Dakota Central Tel
ephone company to remove its poles
and wire from the streets at the expira-
ton of its franchise. The telephone
people refused to comply, and the case
was taken to the United States court at
Sioux Falls. The decision of the court
wes unfavorable to Huron, but Il Is
probable the matter will not be per.
mitted to rest.
In the circuit at Huron Friday Judge
Whiting sentenced Fred Murphy to
serve six months in the penitenttary at
Sioux Falls for grand larceny. Murphy
is the man who stole trunk from the
Chicago and Northwestern railway

while disposing of the contents, which
belonged to a colored woman, at a

A WAR TRAGEDY.
Pathetic Incident at the Siege Of Port
Hudson.

At the siege at Port Hudson, La,
there was one gun commanded by Al
phonso Dubreuil. He was a young
sugar planter who had opposed seces-
sion, but maintained that II Louisiana
seeded he would go with his state.
DIR. Chatrand, his neighbor, was vio-
lent secessionist, and Dubreuil and the
doctors daughter Amelia were lovers.
Louisiana seeded. Alphonso raised a
company and proved so brave a Con
federate that the doctor. who had OPP
posed his. daughters marriage, readily
consented. and the pair were married.
His bride was accorded special per-
mission to go into the bomb proofs or
the fort, where in comparative safety
she could be near her husband. There
she saw him operating his enormous
gun, but her heart was torn with fear
for his safety. Suddenly she became
excited by the noise of firing and, rush
ing out from her place of safety, was
struck by a piece of shell and fell back
lifeless. Dubreuil ran to her side, saw
death in her face and went back brave
~ to his gun.

the sun shone gloriously. There was

instances both Of their poisonous and
their harmless effect when browsed by

dried clippings Of yew are certainly
most dangerous. If yew tree over
hangs neighbours land and his horses
eat the yew without trespassing, the
owner of the tree Is liable to pay for
any injury the horses may sustain. On
the other hand, If the horses or cattle
cannot browse on the tree without put
