Overland park, Denver, the home of
the annual Interstate fair and exposi-

Carpenters, plumbers and painters,

in readiness for the exposition that

them by competent and experienced

UNITED STATES LAND OFFICES
IN WEST SHOW RECORD
BREAKING ENTRIES.
AUGUST RECORD MONTH
NEW LAW DOUBLING HOME,
STEADS is PARTLY RE-
RESPONSIBLE.

Denver.-August established rec
ord for the United States land office
in Denver. During the month the un-
precedented total of S2,323 acres of
land were taken up and s2O,013 turned
into the treasury. August, a year ago,
showed about 10000 less acres and
only s14.475 in receipts.
The majority of the filings were in
Weld, Adams and Larimer county,
where the rush of homeseekers is ex-
ceptional. There were 63,919 original
homestead acres taken up and 1855
acres in desert entries. Final proof
was taken on 1900 acres.
The record breaking business is ac-
counted for by the new laws passed
by congress creating 320-acre home
stead entries, and additional home
stead entries for those who had al
ready filed, and the modification, or
doing away with, of certain restric-
tive laws together with the influx of
hcmeseekers to Colorado. All over
the state, land offices smashed rec
ords during the month.

The success of Lydia e. Pinkham's

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's

suffering women owe it to themselves

Proof is abundant that it has cured

Care in Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value Of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as 1t could
possibly be is Quaker Scotch Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are

DANGER NOT CLOSE AT HAND
Men Will Run Things Few Years

servant Drummer.

A group of men were discussing the
possibilities and dangers of woman
suffrage. All but one expressed the
fear that the movement was gaining
such momentum that in a compare
lively short time this fair land would
be transformed and man no longer
would be master. The exception,
commercial traveller, with years Of
experience in studying human nature,
scoffed at their alarm.
Don't worry" he said. "We1l be

to gallivant about alone, can't go to

Income Tax to State Bio.

Colorado Springs-The state in
heritance tax on the William ].
Palmer estate, amounting to $751;
410.S9, was paid today by the execu-
tors to the county treasurer, in trust
for the state. This is the second
largest inheritance tax ever paid to
the state, the largest tax being paid
by the w. S. Stratton estate, amount
ing to $290,000.
Both these inheritance taxes have
been paid by the estate of Colorado
Springs residents. The law allows a
discount of per cent for payment of
inheritance tax within six months
from the death of the testator. Gen
erai Palmer will have been dead six
months next Monday, SO that the exc
cutors saved this discount, amounting
to about $4,000, and also saved inter-
est at the rate of 6 per cent per an
mum, which is levied on all taxes not
paid within the six months limit.
The executors of the estate are
George Krause, George Foster, Pea
body and e. M Shepard, all of New
York.
The Palmer estate was appraised at
65,270.67 at the time of the gener-
ais death. Outstanding claims aggre-
gated S114,511.29. The executors re-
ceived S15O,0OO in fees and the admin
istration expense was 93,351.s0. The
net value of the estate is s2,S07, ,407 .5S.
The three daughters of General
Palmer, the Misses Marjorie and Dor
othy Palmer, and Mrs. Elsie Myers,
who received $713,57S13 each, paid
the lowest rate for the inheritance
tax, per cent. Gladys Young, who
received the next largest inheritance,
100000, was taxed per cent In
terest is added to all the legatees,
in compliance with the will of Gen
eral Palmer. and the tax is based on
both principal and interest.

$4,000 damages against Augustine and
Salvatore Magnelli, brothers, charging
that they attempted to induce Mrs.
Allito to elope with Augustine Mag

The complaint alleges that one of
the brothers accosted Mrs. Allito in
an alley and threatened, if she did not
elope, he would shoot her then and
there. Prior to that, it is charged
that Augustine Magnelli compelled the
woman at the point of revolver to

DEATH COMES PEACEFULLY TO
THE GREAT RAILROAD KING
AT HIS HOME.
ACTIVE TO THE LAST
WAS DOMINANT POWER IN RAIL
ROAD SYSTEMS AGGREeAT-
ING 1900 MILES.

Edward H. Hartman died at 1885
p. m. Thursday, September 8. at his
magnificent home at Arden, n. Y.
Death ended remarkable battle of
more than year against an intes-
tinal trouble that weakened his body
but left his wonderful brain intact
Worked until ninety minutes before
death ended career which will leave
an indelible stamp upon the railroads
of America.
Hartman was the dominant power
in railroad systems aggregating 72,-
900 miles
Wealth is estimated at from $780,
100000 to $10O,0OO,000.
Magnate had built up a system
which is expected to continue without
Interruption
Loree, Loyett and Krutchnitt ara
mentioned as successors to Hartman,
with Loree the strongest candidate.
Arden, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Edward H
Hartman, the greatest organizer of
railroads the world has ever known,
met the only lasting defeat of his ac.
tive life today at the hands of death.
Secluded in his magnificent home on
Tower hill, ne succumbed to an in
testinal disorder this afternoon, after
a fight against disease which will
rank for sheer grit with his remark
able struggles in the financial world.
Hartman died peacefully, and to
the end his brilliant mind retained its
integrity.
No spiritual adviser was at hand.
The swiftest automobile in the Harri-
man garage had been dispatched for
the Rev. DR.. j. Holmes McGuinness,
Episcopal rector of Arden parish, but
he was not at home. When found
later, he hurried to Arden house, but
death had reached there first.
With the secrecy that has been
maintained at the Hartman residence
unbroken to the very end, news of
Harriman's death was conveyed to
New York before it came to Arden and
the valley below. Then, by way of
New York, the report spread quickly,
and confirmation was sought at the
residence by telephone. During the
last ten days rumors have been so
persistent and variable that little
credence was at first given the re-
port, and it was shock when voice
on the hill replied:
Yes, that is correct. Mr.. Hartman
died at 1855 p m"
Soon afterward, the hundreds OF
workmen engaged on the uncom-
pleted estate learned of their en-
ployer's death when a page went and
announced simply:
You will all quit work. Mr.. Harri-
man is dead"
A hush fell over the group, and the
workmen, dropping their tools,
trudged silently to the flat cars and
descended on the private inclined rail-
way.
That Hartman dictated letters to
his stenographer an hour and half
before his death will be no surprise
to any of Harrimans business asso-
ciates or, indeed, to any one at all IA
miliar with him. His mental energy
was dynamic-his mind dynamo
working continuously in all awakened
hours.
Whenever ct any time in the past
year any of his associates has been
asked if Hartman proposed to retire,
invariably the reply has been: Harri-
man will work until he dies. He
worked until ninety minutes of his
death.
1t was his mind rather than his
body that supported Hartman, prac-
tically all of the past year. He has
to large extent literally lived on his
nerves.
