Death Of Stephen Tonkin.

DedlH again INVADED lne ranks u
the old residents of Gilpin county las
Thursday afternoon and removed a
good, true and highly respected citi
zen-Stephen Tonkin. Deceased had
been Ill and unable to work five or
six weeks and two weeks ago was
taken to Denver. Tuesday of last
week he was placed in st. Luke's
hospital and lived but couple OF
days, succumbing to cancer Of the
stomach. The remains were brought
to the family residence in this city
Friday, accompanied by the wife and
daughter. Sunday afternoon the fun
eral was held from the Methodist
church. Rev. c. w. Hancher, a de-
voted friend Of the deceased, deliver
ed a most impressive sermon. He
said in part:
Stephen Tonkin was born in
Cornwall, England, September Goth,
1847 and died at the age Of 81 years,
90 days. On March 30 1873 he was
married to Miss Caroline Richards.
Thus for thirty-six and a half years
did they share each others pleasures
and burdens in true and loyal cham
pionship.
Brother Tonkin was converted
when he was about 10 years old AMI
joined the Methodist church. Soon
after his conversion he was licensed
as a local preacher until his death.
There are some present in this SER
vice who heard him preach in Eng
land. And a number have heard him
in Bald Mountain, Russell Gulch,
Black Hawk and Central City.
He came to America in 1880 and
located in Bald Mountain, Colorado.
About 16 years ago he moved to Cen
tral City. Thus fer 90 years h. has
been your neighbor and your fellow
citizen. By examining the records of
this church, find that he was re-
ceived into membership by Rev. F.
S. Beggs, from Bald Mountain, Nov
ember 27th, 1892. For IS years this
LAS his pastor for IA month";. I
wish to bear witness that Brother
Tonkin was first of all Christian
and secondly Methodist. AS Meth
cdist he believed in the doctrines OF
his church. He practiced them an
he preached them. / shall not soon
forget a conversation he and l had
not long ago on conversion and its
vital relation to spiritual character
and Immortality.
| MY personal relation to Brother
Tonkin is sweet memory. He never
burdened me, but on the other hant
' he SO thoroughtfully and kindl,
sought to relieve my burdened heart
shall not forget his words of en-
couragement, and his earnest prayeri
as he prayed for me in these words
| Bless thy servant our pastor -
shall be lonesome without him. From
this pulpit l am going to miss his in
spring face and his attentive listen
ing as he sat in that fourth pew. Blu
we must not complain or sorrow a
those without hope. For by our faith
fulness, and the free bestowment O
grace. we hope, on some bright eter
nifty morning after we have gone thrr
the valley and shadow Of death, AM
the mist has cleared away, and on
bark will have dropped anchor, an
we have stepped ashore, to meet h.r
where parting is no more. Today w
but by the grace and power of God
we will meet you again where part

Pests Worried by Pests.

Since the Dutch philosopher Leu
wenhoek discovered that the pupa Of
the flea was sometimes preyed on by
the larvae of a mite, it has been well
known that various small insects have
their external parasites. And a re-
cent communication to the Complies
Rendus of the Biological society of
Paris by M. Bruyant, shows that many
mosquitoes carry about mites in the
larval stage. Those described belong
to four different genera. They prob
ably feed on the integumentary
structures of the mosquitoes.

ney Earle has a new affinity" Ac-
companied by Miss Gertrude Buell.
Dunn, a Socialist like himself, who
has many friends in New York, Chi
cago, Colorado and California, he has
gone abroad for an indefinite stay.
That the latest affinity has already
wearied of her new relation is the
conclusion of her brother in Chicago

her announcing that she will sail for
America September IL.

"My baby was sitting beside the

breakfast when the frying-pan full Of
boiling grease was upset and it went all
over one side Of her face and head.
Some one wiped the scald with a
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We
took her to a doctor. He tended her
a week and gave me some stuff to put
on. But it all festered and I thought
the baby was disigured for life. I
used about three boxes Of Cuticura

1t healed. In about five weeks it was
better and there wasn't a mark to tell
where the scald had been. Her skin

COUGHS UP A LIVE FROG
Kansas Carpenter Believes He SwaI-
lowed PoIlywog While Drinking
at a Spring.

Wichita, Kas.-Arthur G. Valentine,
a carpenter, living in this city, was
attacked by a severe fit of nause
and emitted from his stomach
a live frog more than an inch in
length. For two years he has been
suffering from stomach trouble and
has been unable to get relief. He
thinks that while drinking water from
a spring on the farm on which he
lived prior to coming to Wichita he
took into his stomach a pollywog,
and it grew into a frog.
Physicians doubt the possibility Of a
pollywog living and growing in the
mans stomach, but Valentine has the
frog to show and member Of the fam
lily attest the truthfulness of his state
ment that he emitted it from his stom-
ach. He is nov entirely relieved from
the pains he experienced formerly.

The complete success of the new
fuel while On the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were we'll described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent Of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the triT
through the ten States Of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily ant
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was I'M
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types Of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton Of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint Of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First Of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence tc
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient tc
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi
sion of observers. named by those
who entered other contesting cars
Therefore, it would have been impos
sible for the driver Of the White t.
have even frightened a bolt withou'
the fact being noted and a penalty in
tlicted. At night the cars were
