A Curious
Human Freak
Physicians Puzzled Over a Per-
son who Recsnily Visited
Caldwell.

A curious human freak, whether man

this is the only kind knogn to the med
ieal profession. He Was exhibited re-
Gently at Dr. Young's Office where he
Was seen by all the physicians in the
city The name Of the individual is Gus
Baker and he or she l. certainly unique
specimen Of Ine genus homo. He stands
six feet FIVE inches and is magnificent
ph ysique, but has almost the entire form
OF a woman. He comes OF 4 family OF
giants, his father having been seven
feet ten inches IN height. Neither Of
them were anyway physically abnormal
except that his mother had six fingers
on one hand Baker has the face and
voice OF Woman and at one time per
United his hair 10 grow to length Of Is
inches Although large OF statue and in
I perfect health, he is unable 10 do man
ual labor, his flesh being that of a wo-
man rather than a man. He has few
passions, showing no fondness for child
rem and although circumstances have
sometimes thrown him among strange
people, he has retained to a marvellous
degree, a woman's morality, having no
bad habits except that OF cigarette
smoking. He has visited all the princi-
pal countries OF Europe and has been
examined 10y all the leading physicians
in thiscountry and all are mystifel over
his physical formation He is a fire.,

THE POULTRY YARD.

The farm poultry a hlck too often Is
composed Of chickens, ducks, geese, tur-
keys and pigeons, all living together as
one common family. That is mistake.
Each kind should have its own quarters
Nature has kindly provided such
warm coats for ducks and turkeys that
they can we'll stand the cold. A dry,
open saei n,kes very good roosting
place for ei'h-r, but the turkeys prefer
to roOst on the limb of a tree, anil the
higher up the limb the better they ars

emphatic in the judgment that the political reformer

the better things that practical, without
achieving all that he would like to achieve, was
rather hindrance than help to progress, and

County Local Option Bill

The Illinois Legislature has been in session for two
months but not until last week the committees
nounced bill introduced in the upper branch Of
the Assembly last week by Senator Pemberton which,
if passed. will give the right to every county in the state
of Illinois to direct upon the question to whether
or not they shall have licensed dramshops within the
county, The present local option law grants that right
to townships cities and villages. There large num-
Der of counties in the state of Illinois where, under the
township provision the saloons remain in but or two
little towns, and there is widespread feeling that the
crimnaty consequent upon the saloons in these small
should not longer be borne by the county at large
In many other counties there is but city that remains
wet, such as Danvile in Vermion county, and Quincy
in Adams county, where the saloon remains fruitful
source OF poverty and crime.
1t reported through the daily press of Springfield
recently that that city trying to put the expense Of
the Springfield riot upon the entire county of Sanga
mon. Not great while ago the sheriff of Cook county
declared the time had when Cook county should
longer bear the expense of crminaGty of the city Of
Chicago.
The people are getting awake to the fact that the
natural and most effective unit to vote upon this ques
ton is the county unit. Give the people of Illinois
chance such they have had in Ohio and Indiana and
it will be demonstrated that there strong tenn
perance views in the old Prairie State anywhere else

License and Miscellany 1t would be good thing for
you to begin at to write your Senator and urge the
passage of this bill.

THE ILLINOIS ISSUE
School and Church Bill

The bill recently introduced in both houses Of the
General Assembly, providing that dram-shop license
shall be issued for place within $50 feet OF school,
church, hospital, orphan asylum home for old peo-
ple contains provision that dramshop license shall
hereafter be issued corporation to meet recent de-
cson Of our Supreme Court to the effect that dram
shop license may be issued to corporation This is
already provided by ordinance in the city OF Chicago
but like most liquor ordinances in that city, is not fully
lived up to.
Some have thought that the intent Of this provision
was to prohibit breweries and disteries from being
interested in saloons Legislation Of this character has
been adopted in other states but this is not the intent
of the bill referred to- 1t merely aims to do away with
the evils Of licenses in the Of corporations These
evils may be briefly stated to be-
That you cannot send corporation, you
natural person. jail for the violation Of the liquor
laws because it does not pay it's fine; that corpora
TONS having souls, have character, and cannot
therefore be scrutnzed in this regard individual
can that the provisions Of laws and ordinances
whereby moral character enters into the question of the
granting Of license saoon-keeper set at naught
when corporation takes the cense that by sale of the
capital stock Of the corporation the personality behind
the license may change IN an instant, so that bad
character, being refused saloon license may mme-
diaely buy up Cor organize) corporation, and, with
without the connvance Of the authorities obtain
license in the Of the corporations that the prov
sion of statute that person shall be licensed to

time can be wholly set at naught organize
number of corporations and get dram-shop license for
each Of them; and that the liability provided by statute
for saoon-keeper may be made more difficult of

be organized for nominal or may have it's assets
entangled by corporate technicalities.

days ago the sleeping rooms were
overhauled, renovated. and made
ready for the accommodation Of the
public, but there were. still improve
meuts to be made in other depart

iness. and tomorrow evening dinner
will be the first meal served, and
from this time on all the accommo-
dations and oonveniences that go with
modern, first class hotel may be had
at this we'll known hostelry. The
, people of Florence and the travelling
public will welcome the opening of
the house, and at this time every
thing bids fair for the future. There
is no doubt but that the courteous
treatment of the past and the reputa.
tion of the house that WAS built up by
Mr.. Rice will in every respect be
equalled by the new management.
With two good hotels in the city /,
Florence takes long stride toward
the good old days. No town of this
size in the country is better provided
now to take care of the travelling pub
lie or to make better showing to
visitors who may come to this city.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.

W. E. Mitchell returned this morn
ing from the convention of the Good
Roads association held yesterday at
Colorado Springs. He states that the
convention WAS especially enthusias-
tic over the question of the lettering
of our wagon roads, and that the
association heartily endorsed the
proposition for establishing first
class read from Colorado Springs to
Canon City via Penrose and Florence.
This is a matter that is to be present
ed at the present session of the state
Legislature asaing for an appropriation
to help build such road. 1t Is the
plan to later on extend this road over
the range westward.
There is probably no one thing that
can be done that would better adver.
tise this section of the county with
eastern people who each year spend
the summer in the west. Many east.
erners ship their automobiles clear
to California and tour the whole
country over the magnificent roads
built in that state. We're the roads
available cars would be unloaded at
the Springs and this whole county
and surrounding ones would be toured
in like manner and the advantages of
this section of Colorado would be
presented to them. Money would be
invested here. and in every way 1t
would be q valuable asset to the state.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Nit
chell WAS the only representative of
Florence present at the convention.
There is probably In Florence no bet.
ter man, but there should have
been others TO support him in press
ing the claim that this road II
built should come through Florence.
Canon City sent 3s men in big
touring cars, with large placArds
strung from the automobiles bearing
the words Canon City Good Roads
Delegates. Such body of rep
resentative men made an impression
on the state ssociation ana caused
them to believe that Canon City
was really = city and wanted such
u road. To be sure one representa-.
tive Florence man caused the son
vention to realize that there really
is such a town as Florence and at
least one man In the place who 10
progressive, and who reslized the
business advantage to be derived
from having the road come this
way.
IL Is clearly evident to The Tri-
bune that Canon City has nothing
to be gained by the road reaching
Florence, and certainly will not boost
to have II touch this place, and Flor
ence has much to lose II IL should be
built and not come this way; and
for this reason the business men Of
this place should make themselves
mighty busy to the end that IL may
come hers.
