the fear that something serious had

the keynote.

IRE worthy of special note is the fact
that of the I'D members not one was
in arrears to the extent of penny at

of the State Board of Health, is
well satisfied with the manner
in which the tuberculosis ques-
ton was treated by the LegiSla.
ture. He says that with the laws
passed by the Legislature Kansas
has as good a set of laws fol
the prevention of the spread of
tuberculosis as any other state in
the Union. Four bills of partic.
'ular Importance from his point of
view We're enacted into law by
the Legislature. These four bills,
according to DR.. Crumbine, are
as follows.
Senate bill No. 2O9, which re-
quire all physicians and public in.
situations to report all cases of
tuberculosis inside of twenty
flour hours. This report is then
forwarded at once to the state
board Of health and literature is
sent to the friends and family of
the afflicted persons which has to
do with the care of patient and
prevention Of the spread of the
disease.
In the case of a poor or desti-
tute person the state will send
the necessary equipment to be
used In the case. Thse reports
are strictly confidential and will
not be made public. The bill
further provides that no room
which has been occupied by a tu-
berculOiss patient shall be used
BY any other person until it has
been disinfeeted by some health
officer at the public expense. i
The next law is incorporated IL
the Merrill bill, which IS nothing
more or less than an anti-spit-
ting law.1sIt prohibits splitting in
any street car, railroad train,
sidewalk or public building in the
state. This is a INST compre-
hensive law.

Tho women Of the church in Z

money to pay for decorating their
house Of worship. They were told.
automatically, that II they would call
on Casey, who kept the leading sa-
loon in the village. they might get q
good donation. They called. Casey
met them genially. listened to what
they had to say and promptly sub
scribed $500. This was SO much more
than the solicitors had hoped for that
they were much fustered. and could
do nothing but stammer their thanks.
Finally one Of them rounded to and
said: why. Mr.. Casey. this is most
generous Of you. 1t will allow us to
get what we want very much-a nne
stained glass window"
Casey thought that would be the
right thing to do.
"And. Mr.. Casey" said the spokes-
woman. "in view of this magnificent
donation. isn't there something you
would like to put on the window. SEN
timent or some remembrance. or
something Of the kind?"

and did not notice a group Of the

door in deep consultation.
In a little while she heard some
one softly say: Teacher" and looked
up. 1t was the raggedest boy Of the
lot, and he was holding a paper bag
full of something.
What is It, Jimmie?" she asked.

SAN FRANCISCO
TO CELEBRATE

San Francisco having put her house
in order has extended an invitation to
the nations Of the world to come to the
Golden Gate in mid October and see the
results Of her handiwork and be her
guests at the big festival that is to cele-
brate the rehabilitation Of the city.
The festival, to be held October 10 to
%, will also commemorate the discovery
in 1859 Of the Bay Of San Francisco by
Don Casper de Portola, first Spanish
Governor Of California. From this the
celebration has taken its name and is
known as the Portola Festival.
In the latter part Of April 1905, the
greater part of San Francisco existed
but as memory. Three thousand
acres, comprising the heart of the city,
had been devastated by fire in the great
est disaster of modern times. More
than 2s, 900 buildings had been convert
ed into piles Of smoking ruins and the
loss reached the appalling total of $780,
OOO, 1000.
Within forty months San Francisco
has built herself out of herself. A mod
ern city Of marble and granite, far more
beautiful and substantial than the old
city, has been reared and but a scar
here and there remains as evidence of
the great fire. The new buildings erect.

NO MORE COUNTERfEITING

Of changing brands. and numberless
disputes that arise every year over the
branding question, may be solved by
new system recently designed by James
B. Pearce, secretary of state and w. G.
Baker, chief clerk Of the branding de.
partment Of the secretary's Office. The
plan was designed as a suggestion to
stockmen, and unless they voluntarily
decide to adopt it, no action will be ia
ken by the secretary OF state. The brand
will prevent counterfeiting or changing,
while under the system any stockmen
will be able instantly to tell the owner
of horses.
A series Of ten characters. represent
ing the ten numerals. can be so araang-
ed as to designate any figure from one
to 900, 900 in the same manner that any
number can be formed by proper plac-
ing of the nine numerals.
The advantages of the system will be
That every brand in the state will be dis.
from that In use In any other
state. The brand need not be moro
than four inches square.
If the stockmen should decide to a.
dopt the brand. the present system will
be dispensed with in branding horses,
and every applicant will be given
number in the order in which his appli-
cation is filed.
The brand will not prove practical in
the case of cattle because the hair will
conceal it, bat it can be used on horses
to advantage. The brand is pretty in
design, having the appearance Of feur
de lis. There are now nearly 10000
registered brands in Colorado

FEW WORDS FROM
"MUSIC LOVER"

To the Editor:
In behalf of the music lover in Den
yer and of the Music lovers who visit
in Denver should like to say word
about some music that can be heard in
the city absolutely free.
Probably the very best musical talent
in the west is employed by the manage
ment of the Albany Hotel Other restau.
rants have furnished cheap mnsic from
time to time, but the Albany should be
given the credit for really elevating the
musical tone-whether it is done solely
for that purpose or not. The Schubert
Quartet engaged there for the season is
we'll worth an admission fee. From
time to time there are special musical
attractions while the programmes for
noon, afternoon and evening are always
we'll chosen.
It is real pleasure to see such music
furnished the public. It is alway to be
found by the European traveller but
seldom, almost never at home. wish
to compliment the management of The
Albany.
