NOT AN EXPERIMENT
Sever a Million of Coles Patented Stoves In
Use in America Today.

Readers of this paper should not get
the idea that Coles Hot Blast is in any
sense an experiment. 1t has been proved
supreme over all heating stoves by years
of use by hundreds of thousands of
customers. Their annual output of the
famous Coles Hot Blast from Chicago,
che Original Is 10000 stoves. They are
I'M use IN every state of the Union in
The homes of capitalists and wage earn
serS, and the most enthusiastic testimoni-
ais ,are received at the factory of the
Cole Manufacturing Co. in Chicago
every day.
The reason the Coles Hot Blast is
three times over the biggest selling soft
coal heater is because the patented fea-
Gures that make it remarkable are con-
trolled by the Cole Manufacturing Co.,
and, therefore, could not be used on any
other stove.
SO Coles Hot Blast is backed by its
astounding guarantee only after the
manufacturers have proved in thousands
OF cases absolutely everything they guar
.antee.
We have letter from the President
OF the Cole Manufacturing Co. author
Rzing US to guarantee every purchaser
of Coles Hot Blast in this way:
Coles Hot Blast IS guaranteed to re-
duce the fuel bill third over any lower
draft stove of the same size; guaranteed
10 hold fire from Saturday night until
Monday morning; guaranteed to have a
smoke proof feed door; guaranteed to
remain air tight as long as used; guar
anteed to give uniform heat day and
night with soft coal, hard coal or Ignite
guaranteed t0 Use less hard coa1 for
heating a given space than any base
burner with same size fire pot, and guar
anteed to heat the rooms from one to
ifree hours in the morning with the fuel
put in the day before (Which does away
with kindling or rebuilding the fire each
norning).
This is making a great heater business
for us, and should at least induce every
reader of this paper to see them before
buying their heater this winter.

Elder c. McReynoIds Presides.
This conference and camp meeting
is presided over by the president of
the conference, Elder C. McReynolds
of Grand Rapids, Wis, assisted by
his son, John McReynolds, the sec
rotary. They are assisted at the
meetings and preachings by Elder
Haysmer of Huntsville, Ala, DR..
Hopkins of Madison, DR.. Paulsen of
Hinsdale, ILL.,, K. G. Russell, A. o.
Oleson, G, B. Thompson and A. G..
Holmes Of Washington, D. C.
Mr.. Holmes, who has charge of the
information work, was particular to
explain that this is not as so many
persons seem to think, a meeting to
watch for the coming of the end of
the world The fact that several
meetings for that purpose have been
held in various parts of the country
by religious bodies other than the
Adventists, have caused many to ask
at the park if this is not for that
purpose. Mr.. Holmes explains that,
while the Adventists, look for the
end of the world, they do not set
definite dates, nor do they altogeth-
er look for it to come within the
time they believe possible.
May See Worlds End.
Following the prophecies of the a.
postles, and especially the words of
Christ, they believe that the end
may come within the generation
living at the time of the great me-
teoric shower of 1888. Believing that
that shower was the supernatural
one predicted by Christ as fore
shadowing the time when all should
pass away. AS there are still largo
number of persons living who saw
| that shower they do not believe the
| end shall necessarily come at once
and even then there is the posi-
bility of disappointment, as accord
ing to st. John, disappointments shall
be their lot until all things be full
filled. When that time does come
great fire shall consume the I'M
worthy, while the righteous shall be
taken up by Christ, together with
those who after living righteous lives
have passed to their rest. But the
physical world shall not perish but
after a thousand years of fire and
regeneration shall again see recrea
ton of human life, is the belief OF
the Adventists.

TENTED.C|TY BUILT
At SCHUTz PARK
400 Seventh Day Adventists
Worship God Daily Under
Canvas.

The Milwaukee Free Press of Mon
day contained the following account
of the Seventh-Day Adventists an
nual camp-meeting now in session
in Milwaukee:
A large camp in the center of a
great city is certainly a novelty in
the north.
In the south where the religious
camp meetings, especially among the
colored folk, are of common occur
renee it is not an altogether strange
sight to see a vacant block covered
with tents, nor is it unusual to hear
the solemn tones of religious music
outside of consecrated walls.
Still, this is what greets the eyes
Of MilWaukeeans this week. Under
the trees of Schlitz park, around the
foot of the hill that was the de-
light of DR.. Increase A. Lapham in
the days when forests and Indians
were more common than tents and
preachers, and on the lofty top of
that hill CLEAN the white flies Of
tents, some ninety in all, the great
meeting tent standing on the very top
And from it at almost every hour
Of the day from before the sun casts
its rays upon the high point until
hours after it has disappeared in the
west and it's golden beams have died
away, is heard the tones of ear
nest voices, singing the praises of
she Lord or telling of His glory.
Continues All Week.
This is the fall camp meeting of
The Seventh Day Adventists, the
yearly meeting of the Wisconsin con-
terence, that has attracted 200 wor-
shippers to the life under canvas and
attracts some 200 more each day
from their homes in the city. Last
Thursday the conference began and
it will continue until Oct f.
The life of the people who come to
follow life of prayer and worship,
is regular and simple, but busy. Ris-
ing at the call of the bell at $50

$1O,OOO,OOO STEAL BY U. S., SAYS
SILVER CHAMPIOAN.

To the Editor Rocky Mountain News:
Much verbiage has been lavished
during the last administration Ito be
continued in our neXt) to persuade
the voters of the United States that
a moral awakening was apparent
from conditions now existing, ini-
tiated by the strenuous executive,
who appeared to contend in season
and out of season for what he called
a square deal. That this was mere
subterfuge is easily shown. No
State in the Union has more reason
to deride this preposterous claim
than Colorado, for none is so openly
pillaged and in none are the consti
tutional rights of the people more
intolerably disregarded. For nearly
forty years legislative enactment has
robbed the miner of his hard earned
property and turned the spoil into
the treasury of the United States.

GOVERNMENT EXTRAVAGANZA.

President Taft takes the sensible
view that one of the best ways to cut
down Government deficit is to cut
down Government expenses, and his
instructions to the Navy and War De-
partments to make practical lower
ing of their estimates is a step in the
right direction. The tendency in all
of the departments of Government is
towards extravaganza. Aside from
the actually necessary expenses there
is constant increase of expendi-
lures in very many ways and details
of administration, such as the multi
plying of subordinate officers, clerk
ships, etc., and the overlapping of
expenses in hundreds and thousands
of instances. The aggregate of all
the various unnecessary small eX-
penditures makes great sum. Con-
gress has set a bad example in the
great Increase of it's own eXpendi-
lures. There seems to be a need of
a painstaking and thorough investi-
cation of all the departments with
the end in view of cutting off un-
necessary officials and employees and
reducing the expenditures to the &C
tual needs of the service. Nashville

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Beautify your home and premises
and thereby help to beautify your
town. Flowers, shrubbery and lawn
grasses will almost change the ap-
pearance of your home. The sweet
aroma of flowers growing in the yard
never fails to attract the passerby.
Next to the wife and children there
is nothing SO attractive about the
home as the flower garden full of
roses, daffodils and violets.-Line-

WHAT'S BRED IN THE BONE.

We find, in letter received from
Hon. j. E. D. Shipp, the following
passage:
"a few days ago l saw advertised
in New York a letter written in 1776
about one Thomas Watson, of Penn
sylvania, who persisted in adhering
to his Quaker doctrines and preach
ing discomfort, etc. This old man
appeared to be a genuine kicker of
the first water. How like our own
Watson, who must be a descendant
in the direct line and inherited these
qualities. Selah."
So it would seem that we get the
name and the pacific propensities by
honest inheritance.

Cites Report of Mint.

In proof of this indisputable state
ment I ask the attention of the
miners and voters to the last report
of the director of the United States
mint, who says:
1.-THE Government made, during
the year ending June 80, 1908,
profit of $40, ,371.
This represents he says, "the
difference between the price paid for
the metals and their coinage zalue."
He appears to consider this trans
action an evidence Of the business
acumen and sagacity of the Govern
ment. 1t does not seem to occur to
him that what he calls profit is, by
reason Of hostile legislation, a plain
and unmitigated steal.
The laws enacted in 1878 and since
take from the industrious miner priv
ileges to which he is entitled and
which are assured to him by the Con-
stitution of the United States. But
Director Lynch ought to know, and
no doubt does know, that with the
privilege Of coinage restored, as it
existed before 1873, there can be no
difference between the price paid for
silver and it's coinage value, for i'm
mediately the coinage value would
become the commercial value in every
market on earth and there could be
no profit to the Government
Profit to Europeans.
Nor does it seem to occur to this
astute official, that every European
government, since all buy their silver
for coinage in the markets of the
United States, by reason of the diff
ference in ratio makes a larger per-
centage of profit off the American
producer than his own government
makes.
The law which makes possible this
iniquitous transaction is conspicu-
ously faithless, dishonorable and
mean, since the Government has ex-
ercised it's doubtful authority and
legislated 70 per cent. out of the
value of silver, once one of our most
valuable products, compelling it's
sale at 40 cents per ounce, and then
taking shameful advantage of it's mo-
nopoly, and, by coming it at 16 toll,
as it still does, then distributing it

the district"
1t is the intention of the promoters
to forward Langford and his man
ager transportation from the east
and it is expected they will arrive
within a week or ten days.
Being that the colored man has
taken the short end of the purse,
it is thought he will ask that his
expenses be paid while training.
This is matter which will be taken
up by the promoters when they meet
today.
Mr.. Hall said from what he could
learn from the people of San Fran
cisco, that Langford would enter the
ring a favorite in the betting and
that Ketchel realized that he had
the hardest man in his class to go
against.
+ From a publicity standpoint, the
district is already receiving the ben
fit of the fight, for all the papers
are now telling of the wonderful re-
sources of the camp in which the
fight is to take place. There is no
doubt but what the Gans-Nelson
fight did much to advertise Cold

NEW TRIAL
DATE SET
MOTION FOR CHANGE OF
VENUE IN CALHOUN CASE
is DENIED-WARM EXCHANGE
OF ARGUMENTS.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10
Patrick Calhoun, president of the
United Railroad of this city, will go
to trial Monday, July 10, on charge
of giving a bribe to a supervisor to
influence his vote on the overhead
trolley permit granted in 1906. He
will be tried before Superior Judge
William p. Lawlor, who today de-
MED the motion for a change of
venue, asked by the defendant on the
ground that the court was biased and
prejudiced against him. Judge Law
lor presided at the last trial of Cal
houn, which resulted in a hung jury.
In answer to affidayits alleging
bias, filed by the defendants attor-
ney, Judge Lawlor, Assistant Attor-
ney O'Gara and William Otis. one of
Francis J. Heneys bodyguarls, filed
counter affidavit today, denying the
allegations. Calhoun's attorneys ask
ed more time to prepare aftidavits IN
reply but this was denied. Barrett
then asked the court to allow any
other judge in the state determine
the issue of the fitness of Judge Law
Tor tp sit in the case. He said that
the filing of the affidavit by Judge

his dealing fairly with the motion.

last evening, where he signed ar
ticles for the Ketchel-Langford fight
and also received numerous tele-
grams from Langford signifying his

Labor day
In an interview last evening, Mr..
Hall stated there was absolutely no
doubt but what the big fight would
be pulled off Z In, the district on
September 6. According to Mr.. Hall,
the signature of Ketchel's manager
was all that was necessary to make
the fight certainty as Langford is
only too willing to fight the cham
pion and will allow nothing to stand
in the way of a chance to win the
championship. He said the people
of San Francisco are united in say
ing that go between these men will
be the biggest Drawing card of any
pugalistic event pulled off for num-
ber of years and claim that Hall
was exceptionally fortunate in get
ting the signature of Britt to an
agreement, as most of the big fight
promoters have been trying to do
the same thing for over a year and
all have failed. .Mr. Hall said the
Press of San Francisco would give
the event much publicity as the
sporting writers are very enthusiastic
over the signing of the men, be-
ing that it has been a subject of
much discussion among them, as to
which was the better man. 81 met
