T. J. Pickett and wife, of the Wahoo,
(Neb. ] Wasp. left on Tuesday for their
home, after passing two weeks of q
very pleasant visit in this city. Mr..
Pickett said "You have a most beau
tiful little city, lovely climate and
most hospitable people. You ought to
take some interest in fixing places
around your town where the stranger
and tourist can sit down and rest.
They do not come here to stay in their
room nor do they wish to be
walking around all the time. 1t would
pay your city to provide few seats
for the stranger as well as for your
own people" And this seems to be
the prevailing sentiment of all who
come here to stay few days in rest

Heavy Loads Of Orc.

The citizens of Idaho Springs have
seen some pretty heavily loaded ore
wagons going through the streets
while strangers have been very much
surprised when they learned that from
six to seven ton loads had been drawn
on the scales. Not long ago E. E.
Grundy, Of Sour Lake, Texas, sent the
following query to the Leadville
Herald-Democrat. ''In order to settle
dispute, please advise me if there has
ever been in the history of Leadville, a
team of horses that pulled fifteen tons
on wagon. The paper published the
following reply. Matt Sweeney for
T. F. Walsh pulled twenty pounds less
than fifteen tons with four horses.
Jack McColl hauled for the Mahala
mine over eighteen tons with four
horses and steel wagon. On read
ing the above q representative of the
Siftings called on Mr.. MacColl who is
manager Of the Lucania tunnel of this
district He showed the actual ship
ping weight of this heavy haul which
was made on the sixth day of February
1899 and the weight ticket showed that
he was pulling 37.15O pounds or $50
pounds over eighteen and one-half
tons. II any teamster can beat this
let him come and show his weigh bills.

What IL the Aloha club7

1t is dramatic organization among
the young people of the city and they
hope to make it permanent one.
Plays will be produced from time to
time during the winter and it is hoped
that the citizens will yield their hearty
support, as the aim of the club is not
only social amusement but intellectual
attainment as well.
The initial performance will be given
at the Opera house, Monday night,
Aug. "a, under the title, "Our Boys. !"
Miss Olive Filteau is the official coach
for the club which fact alone assures
the success Of the plays. However,
the cast is a capable one and all are
working enthusiastically on their parts.

me PlkerS added another victory to
their long list when they defeated the
H. N. S. team of Denver last Sunday
to the tune of 13 to 2.
The fact that two of the strongest
players were on the bench did not seem
to hamper the general teamwork of the
Pikers as their positions were well
cared for by the substitutes.
From spectators standpoint the game
was interesting, though one-sided and
the result was never for moment in
doubt. The Pikers took advantage Of an
opportunity to display their unlimited
skill in manipulating the willow and
showed no relentment for the opposing
batteries but punched their hits at will,
while on the other hand the Denver
players were unable to connect with
effective delivery of the Piker's pitch
ers when few hits would have helped
out considerably.
The Pikers appeared to be ION" at
this game while their ::adversaries were
obi ged to tolerate the exactly oppo-
site extreme. Had our boys played all
their former games as they did this one,
unquestionably, they would be now
booked with clean record. As it is
it is clearly manifest that they are
capable Of holding their own among
the best, and in the future it behooves
them to keep up their standard and 20
into all games with the intentions of
winning from the first.
Mrs. Lamb's Mother Dies
Several weeks ago Mrs. Charles
L. Lamb, was called to her old home,
Winchester. Indiana, on account of
the illness of her mother Mrs.
Prentice Garrett. After pro-
tracted sickness death crossed the
threshold and summoned her to .
higher existance, leaving behind be-
reaved and devoted family. In speak
ing Of this estimsble lady, the Win
chester Herald says: "She was a lady
of that rare type Of intelligence and
refined womanhood of which the world
At the present time is sadly
in need. Her quiet dignity of manner
was but the result of generations of
cultured ancestry. 1t is seldom we see
that perfection of beautiful nature
within, combined with all that is
good and pure, endowed with
queenly manners and bearing as was
Mrs. Garrett. She comes of revolu-
tionary fame on her paternal side;
from long line of the well known
type of Scotch-Irish Presbyterians
and is direct descendant on her ma
ternal side Of General Thatcher, the
noted English man, who commanded
the British troops during the revolu-
ton At Long Island, N. Y. Tho beau
tiful spot where Philadelphia now
stands was the home of the (Stewarts
