Johann Gilman Dies.

Johann Eilmann, whose death has
been expected any time, died sudden
ly Monday afternoon at 4:30 O'Clock
of senility. Since his return from the
hospital six or eight weeks ago he
had been in fairly good spirits and
as late as Saturday was up town,
visiting with the merchants. He didn't I
leave his bed Monday morning, say
ing he was going to sleep. He lay in
a stupor all day and passed from life
into death without suffering.
Five weeks ago, the wife who had
been his constant companion, depart
ed this life and the separation was
decided blow to the old man. He
was 73 years Of age and had been a
resident Of the county nearly forty
years. He was a native of Germany
and before coming to America was
n sailor on German ships. He had
made two trips around the world and
his extensive travel gave him wide
information and knowledge. Four
sons and three daughters survive,
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon from the residence Of his
daughter. Mrs. Fred Wenzel, inter
ment in the City cemetery.

Joe Re:,aldi Dies.

The endeavors of the parents of
little Joe Renaldi to save his life
by taking him to Denver last Thurs
day afternoon proved futile. When 1t
was discovered by the physicians
here that the typhoid fever, with
which the boy was taken sick had
effected the brain, the trip to Den
yer was made where two Of the lead
ing specialists on brain and nerve
trouble were called in on the case.
They said the physicians here had
made correct diagnosis of the case,
the patient had tubercular meninge-
tis, and there was no hope for him.
The boy passed away Friday after
noon at $40 o'clock. He was cons
cious up to within half an hour of
the time he died and seemed to suf-
fer very little.
The remains were brought to this
city Saturday evening and the funeral
was held Sunday afternoon from the
Church of the Assumption. Five play
mates of the deceased served as pail
bearers namely, Lafe Rapin, Adolph
Zadra, Thomas Cody, Albert Henley
and John brennan. The funeral was
a very large one and many who
would have attended were unable to
on account Of the limited number of
carriages to be procured. The floral
offerings were extensive and num-
erous friends desirous of contribut-
ing floral token of love, admiration
and respect for the little fellow
were prevented, due to the inability
Of the local florist to satisfy the un-
usual demand.
Joe Renaldi, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Renaldi, was past ten years
Of age. He was born in Queen City.
Mich, and was brought to Central
by his parents in 1900, when he was
but one year old. Possessed of a
happy and pleasant disposition he
made friends with all his school
mates and was a favorite with his
close associates. Joe was unusually
bright, well hammered and polite. AL
ways obiedent and kind to his par
ents his death comes as a profound
shock to them. The community shares
in their grief.

Is Your Family Reading
"Worth While"

So much OF current reading is
merely entertaining at best that the
question naturally arises, is it worth
while? Your sons and daughters are
bound to read something. They hun
ger for stories which take them in
to the other half of the world-the
world of adventure, of valor, Of for
tune-making. The problem is to give
them such reading without putting in.
to their hands the literature that is
either silly or demoralizing. The
editors of the Youths Companion be-
lieve that a periodical can be made
entertaining and yet worth while,
and that is one reason why more
than half a million American fami-
lies read it. The paper is safe, but
not dull. Its tales OF adventure IL
lustrate the advantages Of fortitude
and self-reliance. Its stories of char
acter lay stress on the truth that
right conduct is never a mistake.

startled creature, which made fol
parts remote from danger. The same
animal or another hovered in the
neighborhood. A few days after a
man was reported to have shot a
creature such as described by the
Mica Lady. When shown the pelt
there was no doubt about it. 1t prov.
ed to be very large lynx, an ami
NAL of the wild cat species and very
ferocious in it's attack.
One day the Mica Lady was on the
way to her mine. She was carrying
three sticks of giant powder, fuse
caps and a bottle of water. This was
the scare of her life, she said. While
mounting a steep declivity her feet
slipped. Down she fell, striking a
stone, in consequence of which she
was laid up for three weeks. The
bottle of water was broken in the
fall. She fell right against the articles
mentioned and she is wondering
whether she was really hurt or the
nervous shock attendant upon carry
ing the dynamite and it's failure to
90 off was not the real cause of
her illness.
She is a fearless and determined
woman and has put a scare into a
number of people who have sought
to take advantage of her because of
her sex.
But why does she not sell her
wonderful mica property? She will,
but she asks sixty five thousand dol.
lars for it. She is peculiar in that
she does not wish for partners who
will aid her in the development of
the property. 1t is a mere prospect,
at best. Business people would like
to bond and lease the mine. No.
Sixty-five thousand dollars is her
price.
She has a standing offer of one
hundred thousand dollars if she will
produce sheet mica 12x12 inches.
She is hoping to mine mica of that
size. 1t is a scarce commodity and
much sought for electrical purposes.

Railroad Recognizes the Commission

/ Railroad Recognizes the Commission
The state Railway Commission has
at last been recognized by one cor
poration and Gilpin and Clear Creek
counties will be the first to profit
through the existence of the Commits
sion. The case which tested the eff
| fectiveness of the Commission was
brought by jenkins, Mckay & Co., of
this city, who contended that the
Colorado & Southern Railway COM
pany was discriminating against this
section on the rate charged for haul
ing blacksmith coal from Denver to
Central City. At a hearing held re-
Gently before the Commission their
contention was sustained and an equi
table freight rate on coal was set.
For time it seemed that the rail-
way company would not be governed
by the instructions of the Commission
in regard to the rate to be charged,
regarding the body as ineffective,
pending a decision from the supreme
court on the constitutionality of the
law creating the Commission. Today
was the date set by the Commission
as the limit of time for the railway
company to comply with it's order and
to prevent trouble, which the Rail-
way Commission had threatened to
make, and the C. & s., according to
the following article appearing in last
nights Denver Times, concluded to
obey the order:
THE state railroad commission has
been officially recognized by the Colo
RADIO railroads for the first time
since it was created. The Colorado
& Southern will abide by the orders
of the commission, issued several
weeks ago, reducing the rate on coal
to Gilpin and Clear Creek counties
and the new rates will go into ef-
feet tomorrow.
October 81 is the date named by
the state commission as the time
limit for the railroad to comply with
its order and the Colorado & South
ern has decided not to make the
fight against the order which was ex-
pected to materialize. The new rates
apply on coal from Denver. The rate,
except on blacksmith's coal, will be
S1.75 a ton, instead of 1925, and the
rate on blacksmith's coal will be 80,
instead of s2.25. from Denver to Cen
trail City. The rate to Black Hawk
will be s1.5O, Idaho Springs $3.50
Dumont $1.70, Lawson s1.s0. Empire
$1.9O, Georgetown 50. and Silver
Plume $.25.
THE order is the first one of any
Importance ever made by the state
railroad commission and the first to
be obeyed by the railroads. 1t indi-
Gates that the railroads at last re-
cognize the right of the commission

Ohio when young man, intent upon
exploring the then new and undevel-
oped west. Upon reaching Omaha,
with party of others inspired with
the same motive as his own, he left
for Colorado, using the only method
of transportation in crossing the
plains in those days-the slow but
certain OK team. He reached Colo
rado June Sth, 1860. The journey was
continued up Clear Creek canon and
camp was pitched at the present
sight Of Idaho Springs, where Lorah
staked several claims.

gagged in the great civil conflict, the
Indians on the frontier became
troublesome and call was made for

ed himself in the battle of Sand
Creek.
When the Indian outbreak was fl
nally subdued, Lorah returned to the
mining camp and set out to prospect.
He discovered the famous Saratoga
lode but being unable to locate the
vein, abandoned the Saratoga and
came to Central City. From the time
he reached the then new gold field
he became an important factor in the
upbuilding of Central. In 1871 he be-
came city clerk, holding that office
two years. He then advanced to the
honorable position Of mayor. When
a vacancy existed in the county treas
urer's office after he had finished
his term as mayor, he was appoint
ed treasurer by the board of county
commissioners. To the various public
positions he held was added that of
assistant postmaster of Denver in
1864 at the solicitation of Postmaster
Samuel Curtis.
Before leaving for Denver eight or
ten years ago. Lorah was fairly we'll
fixed financially. He owned some
good mining property and valuable
real estate. At the time OF his death
he was only in moderate circum.
stances, the property he owned con-
sisting of but a few houses in this
city which brought him very little
revenue.
Lorah was married twice. In 1895,
son by his first wife, Bella l Lorah,
met tragic death in the old Gumry
hotel fire in Denver. He leaves a
wife, two brothers and two sisters.
He was a man who enjoyed a wide
acquaintance through his long resi-.
dence in Colorado and had countless
friends. Out Of respect for the de-
ceased as an old and honored official
of the city, the mayor and present
board of aldermen will attend the fun
