Live Stock Doing Well.

Greeley.-Cattle Inspector Rowe re-
ports that sheep and cattle are doing
remarkably well all over the north
ern part of the state and that ship
ments are made daily. Nebraska feed
ers are here to secure stock to top
off and several carloads have been
sold to them at good figures. Over
5000 lead of cattle are being fattened
near Eaton and nearly every farmer
in this district has sheep or cattle fat
tening. Near Hardin more cattle ara
being fed then ever before. Farmers
in this district will send their best
animals to the stock show. Among
them IS John Painter, who carried off
many blue ribbons last year for his
Hereford cattle.

NOTED DENVER
PHYSICIAN DIES
DOCTOR DENISoN, TUBERCULOSIS
SPECIALIST, sUccUMBs TO
KIDNEY DISEASE.
WELL KNOWN AUTHOR
RECOVERED FROM CONSUMPTION
IN COLORADO AND STAID TO
FIGHT THE DISEASE.

Denver-Dr. Charles Denison, a
pioneer physician of Denver and an in
ternational authority on tuberculosis,
died of blood poisoning, resulting from
an abscess of the kidneys, at Saint
Luke's hospital Sunday morning.
DR.. Denison located in Denver in
1873 purposely to study the climate
and consumption, and he made it
speciality, having written numerous
works on the subject, and he was a
delegate to the international confer
ence on tuberculosis in London in 1888
when the nations of the world first
took up the subject, and he has been
a delegete to each succeeding congress
At the last congress in New York he
exhibited relief map, showing data
regarding the white plague, that at
tracted much attention. This map
eventually will form part of the Colo
RADIO historical collection.
Dr. Denison was born in Royalton,
Vermont, November /, 1S45. His father
and grandfather were physicians. He
was educated in Kimball Union Acad-
emy Meriden, New Hampshire, the

geon in the City hospital of Hartford,
Connecticut. He later practiced in
Hartford as specialist on the eye.
He was attacked with a pulmonary tu-
berculosis in 1872 and went to Texas
and Florida.
This attack first turned the attention
of DIR. Denison to consumption and he
devoted the rest of his life to its study
and became one of the worlds great
est authorities on the subject. In Oc-
tober, 1878, he came to Denver, this
climate and altitude having been rec
commended to him, and here he con-
tinued his exhaustive study of pUlmo-
ary troubles and climate. The results
of his studies are embraced in several
books written by him.
DIR. Denison was one of the founders
of the Colorado Medical Society and
its first secretary; president of the
Denver Medical Society; member of
the American Medical Society since
1874; delegate to International Medi-
cal congress, 1876, and delegate to
scores of other medical meetings.

TEN went so far as to set apart GER
tain cars exclusively for the use Of
women. When these had been tested
sufficiently they were refused on the
ground that women themselves were
opposed TO them. A similar coin
cidence would have occurred IN the
South had white men allowed condi-
lions to remain as they were, and
not subsequently shielded themselves
behind the petticoats Of a so-csIled
outraged womanhood
Why Is there 50 much rape and
lynching in the South and murder IN
the North? Simply because Jealous
white men, because they have the
power within their own hands, want
to exploit the virtues Of Colored wo-
man IN the South and the woman Of
other races in the North, then deny
to the males Of other races the same
right with their women; and IN fact
keep their own women IN a sort OF
stockade, and prevent them from mat
ing with wohmsoever they elect. Pull
down these barriers If you dare, and
there win be no more race problem
IN this country. The human afhnity
and unity OF the human family would
so assert themselves there would soon
be a homogeneous whole absorbing
an heterogeneity. White women
would marry black men and white
men black women IN the South, and
Japaneses and Chinese would marry
white women IN the North. This is
the only solution to all race problems
destroy racial identy and recognize
the unity of origin Of the human
family.
However, no justification for i'm
politenes Of Negroes IN public con-
veyanees is attempted here. We
agree with Senator Scott that Ne
groes are not as polite as they should
be. We furthermore believe that the
Negro can gain nothing through re-
taI;ation. He cannot AFFORD to throw
stone for stone. He must not refuse
his seat to a white woman, because
white man refuses his to a Colored
woman. He has the power, and as
irksome as It might be. we must lie
low until we get on, our feet. All
OF these determinations and persecu-
lions should have a two-fold impress
