DEFENSE OF THE srlNey MAN.
Wherein He Differs Occasionally from
the "Good Fellow"

They say I am stingy. All right.
let 1t go at that: I AM stingy. But
did you ever hear that was a dead
beat? There was a time when l
threw my money away, and stood of
my creditors. in order that l might be
known as a good fellow, but now
save my money and pay my debts.
There was time when l spent ten
dollars in an evening, cumming around
with the boys, and owed the tailor
for the clothes on my. back; when l
went riding every Sunday with liv.
cry rig, and did not pay my board;
when / thought 1t an evidence of
smartness to buy cigars and drinks
for other people. but now l think it
an evidence Of sound sense for a man
to save the money for which he is
compelled to work, In order that he
may realize something from 1t. For
this am called stingy, but can stand
It: In fact, rather enjoy the title. for
there are 30 many shiftless fools In
this town who imagine that they are
good fellows, hoping to realize on
their wanton waste of money, that
am glad cannot be classed among
them. Ask the bill collectors about
the good fellows. The bill col
lectors will tell you story worth
listening to and they will also tell you
that the stingy men pay promptly.
There are lot of old good fellows in
Atchison who have not money enough
to bury them, and there are stingy fell
lows In Atchison who began life under
more unfavorable circumstances than
the good fellows, and the stingy fell
lows are rich. recommend that the
young fellows deserve the name Of be-
ing stingy, for a stingy man seldom
stints himself or his family, but he
often refuses to throw his hard-earned
money away, and very properly. A
stingy man is seldom bothered for
donations. and. altogether, l like the
name. found among the papers Of

HAIL TODAY

This morning, between 10 and II
o'clock, quite IA severe hail storm oc-
Cured in the city and in the immcd-
late vicinity. For some minutes the
hail stones peppered down thick and
fast. They were not large, the big
gest being about the size of pea.
II is not believed that any eNten-
sive damage was done to the fruit or
other growing crops, as the hail WAS
not sufficiently large to injure the
fruit to any serious extent.
Imme diately preceding and immed-
lately following the hail storm, heavy
rains fell throughout the valley,

THREE.MEN
SHOT TO
DEATH
[By Associated press.l

New Orleans, La, June 17.-Fol-
lowing series of crimes attributed
to black hand societies three Italians
were shot to death here early today.
According to the police, the men
were killed as the result of an at
tempt to extort money from Pietro
Giacona, a wealthy Italian wine mer-
chant.
Giacona and MS son told the cpo-
lice that the men had frequently
bought wine of them by the barrel
and had invariably refused to pay
for it.
They say that the men had forced
them to ship a barrel of wine to a
certain point in the state yesterday,
and that early today they returned
and ordered Giacona to prepare them
a meal.
The elder Giacona had suspected
that there would be trouble and hid
repeating rifle near the table. When
one of the visiting Italians drew a
revolver and ordered Giacona to pro-
duce his money and valuables, the
elder Giacona answered with a shot
from the rifle.
The man he fired at fell dead. The
other two attempted to escape, but
one was killed before he got 10 feet
from the table and the third was
shot through the brain as he start
ed down the steps.
One of the Italians has been iden-
titled as a man named Barraca, who
was known to the police.

was StfDleu report OF certain
remarks that Mayor Robert w.
Speer of Denver made yesterday
in the course of a speech before
the state convention at Glen
wood Springs.
What Mayor Speer really did say
along the lines in which the morning
paper attempted to quote him was
as follows:
81 intend to speak my views with
regard to platforms.
THE one great curse of the demo-
cratic party is that we resolve too
much and we whereas too much.
Objection and criticism never built
up anything.
81 am opposed to the majority re-
port for several reasons. zone of the
chief reasons is that one of its op-
ening paragraphs commends Presi-
dent Roosevelt. I do not believe
any democratic platform should con-
tain approval of a republican presi-
dent
MY second objection to the plat
form is that it contains a national
bank clause. | do not know much
about national banks; but in advance
of the convention in Denver / be-
lieve that We should leave all men,
ton of this question out.
''Then again the platform under
takes to tie the hands of the Pueblo
convention in the matter of United
States senator, and this | do not be-
lieve in.
A Corporation Man.
st is said that in Denver the cor
porations run the democratic party
Personally | am corporation man
in that | believe in treating them
fairly.
''The democratic party of the state
has abused every corporation in such
a way that the corporations G are
against II.
During the past four years the
democratic party in Denver has
treated the corporations fairly, with
the result that we have secured more
from the corporations than has been
done in the history of the city.
when I assumed Office the city
of Denver was paying $50 a year for
arc lights, now it is paying $50. At
the present time the city is receiving
$4,000 year from the gas COM
pany and 100000 year from the
tramway company.
For the past fifteen years the city
has been trying to build viaduct,
proposition every step through the
courts. Now that they are receiving
decent treatment, the railroads are
going to pay for viaduct on Twen-
tieth street which will cost them
100000.
Urges Construction Crews.1
81 am not in favor of railroad
resolution at this time. The rail-
roads of Colorado are having hard
work to keep their heads above wat
er, and do not believe that we
should further embarrass them by
adopting the resolution in this ma
jority report. 1t will not help the
state any. but instead will have the
effect of tearing down.
ut would be better for the demo-
cratic party in Colorado, instead of
sending out so many wrecking crews,
to send out a few construction
crews"

Chicago, June 17.-Every state in
the union was represented IN a crowd
of 100000 persons who fought Mon
day night for a point o. vantage
from which they might witness one
of the most spectacular fires that has
occurred in Chicago for years.
The blaze was on the old City ele-

of the river, half block south of
the Twelfth street viaduct.
For more than three hours, until
the structure collapsed, the flames
leaped high in the air, despite the
fact that half the engine companies
in the city and two fire tugs poured
streams of water into 1t from all

The Editor of this paIer has always taken deep
;,t.,nst in the price of cotton-the fluctuation Of
the market and the handling of the staple by the
local warehouses and buyers. We not only feel
pride in the local market but we are interested IN
the prices generally. We h9ve been free in giving
advice about holding or selling We have not al
ways hit it right (if we knew how TO do that we
would not have to edit paper but would get rich

wise risk lust a little on it. We believe that cotton
is selling too cheap again this year and that it VIII
sell much higher, although it will evidently be
lower under the pressure of the heavy sales in mid
die season. Farmers ought to sell enough cotton
to satisfy their creditors as rule they are not III
debt as was the case a few years ago, but where
farmer can hold his cotton it is clearly his duty
to do so. 1t is folly to argue that he may take
