SHALL THE MAIL ORDER
HOUSE GET THE MONEY

with the better class OF Eastern cat-
alogue houses, but buy certain lines
OF goods at bargain sales" and de-
liver only those articles that net them
handsome profit, while taking ord
ers at ruinous or impossible prices
for goods they do not have and never
intend to deliver. For instance, they
will take orders for sugar at SI.75

stock and could not sell it for that
price if they had
1t is with just such fakes and
"bunco games as these that the
Legitimate merchants of Colorado
have to contend. and it is a matter
of general and sincere regret thai
people of this character receive such
substantial aid and encouragement
from residents of Colorado
If the people of this state could
get as good goods from Eastern cata-
logue houses at less price than they
would have to pay in Colorado. or
better goods for the same price as
charged by state merchants. there
might be some semblance of excuse
for their exceedingly liberal patron
age of these concerns that have no in
terest in the development of Colo
RADIO aside from present profits.
But they don't. The merchants of
Pueblo, Denver and other towns OF
the state are able and do duplicate
any class of goods sent out by the
Eastern catalogue houses, both in
quality and price, and offer the ad
ditional advantage to the purchaser
of being at all times ready and will
ing to correct any errors that may
arise. or make good any defects in
the articles purchased, which the
Eastern houses do not do. To say
nothing of these disadvantages, the
patrons of Eastern concerns must
pay the freight or express charges on
their purchases, which in most cases
bring the cost considerably above
that of the same article bought from
home merchant.
BY sending their money out of the
state for merchandise that could be
bought at equally low prices in this
state, Colorado people do not con-
tribute to the development of local
enterprises. but add to the burdens
of those who have done so much for
the upbuilding of home industries,
thus setting an example that is harm
full to every. loyal resident of this
great commonwealth, and TO every
worthy enterprise that is struggling
to gain a foothold among us.
The specific remedy offered is Tor
each local merchant to adopt the cat
alogue system for himself. thus en-
abling the general public to make
comparisons between his prices on
all lines of goods carried by him with
the prices quoted by Eastern cata-
logue houses. Every merchant inter
viewed SO far is willing to compare
both quality and price with any OUT
side house, and this will put It up
to" the buyer to decide between local
and Eastern merchants, and place
his money where it will do the most
good.

SLEEPING SICKNESS A
MOST TERRIBLE MA[ADY

come commonly known. Unfortun-
ateIy sound sleep rarely comes to the
relief of the doomed ones, and the
torDor in which they lie comes from
the constant strain of never ceasing
main. Many of them, in an unguarded
moment, put an end to their miser-
able lives, and it is wonder that
more of them don't do likewise.
Horrible Suffering.
Further in, we came to those who
were in the last stages of the disease.
Living about on beds or withered
leaves. they had reached a degree of
emaeiation that was horrible to see.
The unhappy creatures looked like
skeletons, and only their doleful
moaning indicated the presence of life
in the wretched remains. A few. in
whom nature was struggling hard,
had gone raving mad and in spite of
the fact that the poor creatures had
preferred TO have been chained to
logs, one almost envied them their
to the tortures that af-
flicted their fellow victims. The
frenzied laughter of these unfor-
tunates seemed particularly dreadful
in that abode of suffering death.
Caused by Fly.
1T is generally accepted that a
variey of tsetse fly. the glossina
falpalis. is the principal, if not the
only agent for the transmission of
the disease. This fly exists in enor-
nous numbers on the shores of Vic
toria Nyansa. and also on the. bord-
efs of some other lakes and rivers of
Uganda Its habitation, however. is
restricted to a narrow growth adjoin-
ing water and width of two miles
is believed to be the limit of the in
tested zones Out of some 300. 200
souls inhabiting the shores of Vic
toria Nyansa and the islands in the
great lake. over 100000 have already
been swept out of existence, and it
remains to be seen whether the re-
mainder can still be saved.
'The determination of the tsetse
appears to be a hopeless task. and it
has therefore been decided to remove
all the surviving population out OF
the reach of the fatal fly.
More Than 10000 Sick.
1t is estimated that more than
10000 sick now remain to be dealt
with, and they are being located in
large camps capable of accommodate
ing about 900 at time.
Cattle. sheep and goats are cheap
in Uganda, and a comparatively mod
crate sum would enable us to pro-
vide now and then meats for the un-
happy inmates of the sleeping sick
ness camps. Unless a cure be soon
they will not long remain
a charge to us. and if my readers
could have seen the intense delight
that transfigured the faces of the
inmates of the refugee at Kissubi at
the prospect of meat they would
think a few shillings well spent in
that direction"

Originally the cottage was built
for A. B. Turner OF Boston, and later
rical manager, who occupied it for
many seasons. Some years ago Ev-

tensive improvements.
The cottage is a 2 Y story build

harmony with the trees which flank
the broad avenue and the shrubbery
which abounds in that vicinity.
There are also stretches of well kept
lawns and the place is one of the

GROWTH OF BEET SUGAR.

The report sent by Secretary Will
son of the department of agriculture
to the senate in response to request
from that body shows that the beet
sugar industry has become within a
few years one of great Importance to
the country as a whole; and ii may
be added that this Importance is em-
phasized when the relation of the
industry. to particular localities Is
considered.
In 1896 the production of beet
sugar in the United States amounted
to only $4,000 tons; but in 1898 1t
reached a total of 425, 900 tons. Thus
in twelve years II was multiplied ten
times; and there is good reason to
believe that If no adverse legislation
interferes. the growth will continue
from year to year.
In view of the great fmportance-of
this industry to localities where the
conditions for its development are
favorable, and when the possibilities
of future growth are considered, 1t
becomes evident that congress should
do nothing to impede its progress.
The admission of 100000 tons of
Philippine sugar free of duty should
not be permitted for it is not neces-
sary to the development of the Phil
ippine islands and II would open up
numerous possibilities of injury to
the production of beet sugar in this
country.@Denver Republican.

Denver. May S.-Three millions of
dollars, Three millions in Colorado
cash sent out of the state every year
to the big catalogue houses of the
East
This vast amount of local capital
spent every twelve months by Colo
RADIO people for goods that are no
better and no lower in price than are
the same goods carried by the mer-
chants of the state.
This is the estimate placed by we'll
informed jobbers and wholesalers
upon the mount of ready cash that is
being annually diverted from the
Legitimate channels of home industry
and enterprise, and sent back East
to help swell the tremendous volume
of trade of mail order houses that
boast of a business of S60.0OO.OO0 a
year.
In order to correctly estimate the
effect of the eastern catalogue trade
upon local merchants. the Denver
Chamber of Commerce has taken
hold of the matter. with a view to
ascertaining the amount of ready
cash thus needlessly diverted into
wrong channels, and also to learn If
possible what remedy can be success
fully applied.
AS result of numerous inter-
views with leading business men dur
ing the past few days. it may be an
nounced that this is matter calling
for an extensive educational cam
paign. which, in addition to appeal
ing to that spirit of loyalty and state
pride that should actuate all our peo-
pie, should be directed toward fur
nishing substantial proof that goods
of Just as good quality can be bought
at home at as low price as is charg-
ed for those sent out by any catalogue
or mail order house operating in any
Eastern city.
While some of the larger depart
ment stores of the state. carrying ex-
tensiye lines of high class merchan-
disc, do not feel that they are par
ticularly affected by the inroads of
the Eastern catalogue houses upon
the aggregate volume of local trade,
inasmuch as they deal mainly in an
inferior grade of goods, the large ma
jority of merchants recognize the fact
Z that the outside houses are having
/ an injurious effect upon business,
while offering no greater induce
ments in either quality of price. And
yet the outside towns suffer greater
loss from this cause than do the
larger cities of the state.
One large department store i'll this
city encountered such fierce compe-
tition from statesmen purporting TO
represent Eastern catalogue houses,
that the management found it advis-
able TO call in its travelling men and
to rely upon its own catalogues for its
mail order trade throughout the
state.
! II may be said in this connection.
! however, that many of these peripa-
tetic statesmen. met all over the coun-

firms, have no connection whatever

however, withheld a permit for tine

GOOD HUSBANDS WANTED
BY 100 CHICAGO GIRLS
SPECIAL to The Sentinel

Chicago, May S-More than 100
Chicago girls, pretty, vivacious and
fairly well to do. want husbands
that is, if they can find the right
ones. The responses of these young
women, describing their ideal man,
were read last night at the Halsted
street institutional church by the
Rev. d. d. Vaughan. during the
course of a sermon on The Model
Husband"
A majority of the young women
writers surprised both the pastor and
audience by stating positively that
they wanted their husbands to be
the real boss They also declared
it was not necessary that he be hand
some wealthy, talented. or a "swell
dresser" But il was insisted in ev-
cry case that he be a man who was
capable of real love. The word love
was underscored in most of the let
ters.
The feminine candidates were
practically agreed that their future
better halves" must be good heart
ed kind and affectionate." Business
or professional men were not pre-
ferred by most. but clean, honest
men, who make clean money" were
desired
DIR. Vaughan secured the opinions
of the young women by sending out
letter in which he propounded the
following questions regarding the
model husband:
"1-Do you want him to be the
head of the mouse? ~
"2-Do you want him to always
follow your bidding?
''3=Do you want him to give his
time to succeed in business or to his
home?
"4=Do you care whether he loves
you or do you merely want a home?
.'5=Do you prefer business or a
professional man!
"6-Must he be wealthy
Must he be handsome?
"S-Must he be a swell dresser? :?
"9-Must he be educated or tai
ented?"
Next Sunday night will be devoted
to the model wife. The following
questions have been sent out:
