Inc papers IN the case, Wthcn We're
fled in the county clerks Office to-day,
show that every effort is being maze
to conceal the real nature of the suit.
There is nothing in any OF the papers
available to show whether the con-
templated action is for separation or
divorce. It is generally believed, how
eVel, that an absolute divorce viii be
asked by Mrs. Vanderbilt.
Whatever the nature of the suit, it
will be defended by Mr. Vanderbilt. ac-
corning TO an affidavit, which has been
filed by his attorneys. With the other
papers was a stipulation signed by the
legal representatives of both parties
agreeing on David Mcclure as referee
to hear the evidence and an order from
Justice O'Gorman appointing Mr. Nc
C1ure referee.

When seen here today Mrs. Wander
bilt apparently was much less worried
and distressed than she has been at
other times during the past few weeks.
She seemed to be well pleased at some
thing-and also at declining to inform
the public of her suit.

How do you know there is d CORE

Sine was Informed that it had been
made public in the Supreme Court that
papers had been filed
"Well, then. those papers will give all
the information" she said, apparently
aware that the documents were filed
secretly.
Even as he strolled the deck of the
Mauretania. before she started down
the bay, Mr.. Vanderbilt insisted ut
he knew nothing of any legal actor
But it was noticeable that his cousin
Consuelo. the Duchess of Marlborough
barely nodded to him as she boarded
the ship to return to her home abroad
She apparently knew all about the pre-
ceedings and did not view Alfreds

He denied killing the little girl sworc
he never had hatchct ON the fatal
day, and even went so far as to say he
had not seen the girl at all ON the day
he is supposed to have slain her.
In explanation of his two confess

be hanged il he did not make incrimi-

HANDING Them a Lemon.

The editor sat in his office, whence all
but him had fled, and he wished that
every dead-beat was in his grave-stone
dead. His mind then wandered far away
to the time when he should die, and his
royal editorial soul go scooting to the
sky; when he'd roam the fields of para
disc and sail DER Jasper seas, and all
things glorious would combine his every
sense to please.
He thought how then he'd look across
the great gulf dark and drear, that I'll
yawn between his happy soul and those
who swindled here, and when for water
they would call, and in agony they'd
caper, he'd shout to them: Just quench
your thirst with the due that's on your
paper. ."-Aroostook Republican.

Raymond Irenoweth, Deceased.

Raymond Trenoweth, only son of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Trenoweth, died We'd
nesday morning shortly before six
o'clock. He had undergone an opera
tion for appendicitis Friday evening
and while the operation apparently was
successful he was unable to recover
from the effects brought on through it.
Gas accumulated in the stomach and
there seemed to be no relief for this.
Sunday and Monday it was thought
that the young fellow would pull
through as on these days he rallied and
seemed much brighter. Everything
possible was done for the boy both by
his parents and the physicians.
Raymond Trenoweth was a Glpin
county product. He was past eighteen
years of age and was boy of promise
and worth. He was pupil in the local
schools and by rapid advancement had
reached the 11th grade and had death
spared him, would have graduated with
honors in the class of '09. Among his
schoolmates he was most popular and
enjoyed the friendship of his elders
the teachers and the citizens of the
town. In his death the community suf-
fers loss with the parents as the
young man was destined for business
career. Mr.. and Mrs. Trenoweth are
extended the sympathy and coincidence
of all in their period of grief.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon at clock from the Treno-
weth residence. Rev. w. C. Millikan
will conduct the services. The body
will be laid to rest in the Masonic GEM

Operations are being pushed in the
New National tunnel in the Black Hawk
section, the company putting up raises
and running drifts. Any amount of pay
ore is opened up and regular shipments
from four places where the crevices
average four feet in width are
being made. The ore taken from these
four points runs two ounces to the cord.
The tunnel is in 5000 feet. The COM
pany's ground comprises 25 claims and
extends from the portal of the tunnel
in Black Hawk to the Pittsburg mine in
Russell gulch. Hand steel is now being
used but this will be abandoned within
short time as air machines are to be
installed. A good sized force, say ten
hands, is employed in the tunnel.

G|tP|N COUNTY MINES ATTRACTING
EASTERN MEN OF WEALTH
Mining Engineers Being Sent Here Examine Properties
for Capitalists Looking for Safe Investments Several
Good Strikes Made During Past Week.

Wilber Weymouth of California,
mining man of wide experience, was in
the city last week. In company with
E. S. Moulton he went through the
Nemaha workings and examined the
property thoroughly. He was most
favorably impressed with the large ore
bodies exposed and said it was the best
mine for the price of any he had ever
been in. In the Nemaha there are two
levels west and five east of the shaft
with ore streaks averaging 12 feet in
width. The mill dirt from these veins
runs from 3 1-2 to 1-2 ounces gold to
the cord and the smelling ore runs from
$50 to 5000 to the ton. The Cotton,
another of the claims of the Nemaha
group, is being worked through the
Nemaha shaft and both places are
keeping up a steady shipment of ore.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Moulton, own
er of the property, to sink the shaft of
the Cotton another 100 feet and also to
deepen the old shaft on the Nemaha
claim.

During the past two weeks no less
than Is mining engineers, representing
numerous capitalists in the east and
south, have been in the camp examin-
ing properties. Much interest is being
taken by men of money in mining ven
lures and Gilpin county propositions
seem to appeal them more strongly
than those of any other section. Par
ties from the east claim that there is
any amount of idle money, but none of
it is being put into stock speculation
and that the tendency is to invest in
mining.

AT THE OLYMPIC

Last night the Earl Burgess com pany presented a real dramatic novel, ty. The jaded and blase' thcatregoer forgot his troubles at the Olympic last night, his blood was Nuickened and his heart brought to his throat by the stirring fervor of the many scenes of this oriental play. Away cut on the coast of Northern Africa, during the var with Tripoli a party of Americans are captured. Their story forms the motive Of the King of the Desert.
 The audience is on the tiDtOe of eX- citement until the scene when the U. $, marines arrive to rescue them. It is a mighty good play, one to bring all your patriotism to the front and make you wish you were boy and that 1t was the Fourth of July again. Miss Anderson as Amineh, child of the African desert looked a very picture and read the beautiful lines of the role with real feeling. Mir. Miller showed us he can play something else besides williams, and MT. Cornell made dash ing young naval lieutenant. There was a startingly clever performance by Miss Rothc as Harem beauty, and Miss Eronridge was daintiness person. flied as Blanche. Mir. Percival as the old Commodore handled a difficult role with skill. Miss Grantley and Jimmie Mack were very droll in two well written comedy parts. The play was decidedly novel and out of the oi dirarY.

ditions are constantly increasing. the ownership of a Mississippi valley farm will soon be burden rather than d blessing unless the devastation of the river slopes and watersheds be sharply checked.
 Shifting bars on river bottoms mean lost farm land; rushing floods of mud dy waters tell an eloquent story of piratical forestation and sIipshod ag- riculture Every ounce of sediment in flowing streams means lost soil which should be lying between farm furrows bringing grain and vegetables to frui- ton. Every muddy stream tells its own story of shifting banks and slid ing soil.
 Farm outlines are being changed ev- cry twenty-four hours along those waeercourses; the Father of Waters sweeping majestically to the south with thklsands of tons of earth car ried in the shape of sediment and with the richest soil salts held in solution, for this river erosion robs the farmers by three processes; taking first the solid material which the currents roll seaward on the river bottoms; secOnd- ly by the quantities which flow in sus- pension as a sediment, and last, by the soil salts which disappear in solution.

A LOWER TAX RAIE
 ON CITY PROPERTY
The Levy Will Be Reduced IS Gents On the S100.

It will be gratifying to taxpayers to learn that the city tax rate for the year will be less than it was last year and for many years preceding and that at the same time the valuations will be no more than they were year ago. The levy for the general fund will be seventy cents on each s100 of valuation, the same as it has always been; it cannot under the law beuny less, but all the other levies will az gregate only fifteen cents on each S100 A year ago and for several years De fore, these aggregates Mre thirty cents.
 This reduction of the levy has been brought about wholly by the admin istration and by the introduction or the water works into the revenue pro- ducing department of the city There is money left in all of the funds from last year and it is thought that the reduced levy will so operate that at the end of the next fiscal year there will be no surplus. It is the opinion of the council that it is better for the money to remain in the pockets of the tax payers than to exist in the shape of unused funds which are doing mo-
 body any good.
