KING OF FRUIT-THE APPLE.

The apple has been intimately con-
nected with the life of mankind ever
since the earliest history. For ages
and ages il has had prominent place
in the tales of the people that have
been handed down to us. Sometimes
the apple has helped to make the his
tory of nations and often made richer
the biographies of kings.
Who does not know the story re-
lated in the Bible in which the apple
takes such a prominent part and
where that dramatic scene is enacted
in the Garden of Eden? Solomon
says, Stay me with tiagons and com
| fort me with apples.
The Greeks were acquainted with
the apple as is shown by the many
times ii receives honorable mention
in the period of the Athenian ascen-
dency. Homer's Had and the Aeneid
of Virgil use it's symbolisms quite fire.
quently
The Roman Tactitus tells of the
prominence of the apple among the
Germans and the early Goths. The
Norsemen sang the praises of the ap-
| pie in rough melody while the old
Scotch clansmen chose ii for their
badge of honor. Then, too, il is said
/ that the remains of apples have been
found among the bones of prehistori d,
men upon the shores of the Swiss
lakes.
With all this precedent it is fitting
that men in this present time should
give honor to the king of fruit. and
in giving this honor several great
shows have been promulgated for the
coming winter, Colorado has come
in line with other progressive parts
OF the country and is at present ar
ranging for what they please to call
the Colorado National Apple exposi-
tion. and the directors and promoters
claim that ii will be the king of
shows. In making this claim there
ris no attempt to detract from the in
terest in other exhibitions of like ma
ture. and indeed there is the friendli-
est interest being manifested between
the managers of all the large events.
The Colorado or Denver show has the
advantage of being centrally located
among the fruit shipping states, and
therefore should pull very large ex-
hibit and an enormous attendance
The auditorium. in which the Den
yer show will be held, is a building
occupying block of ground in the
heart of the city OF Denver 1t has
a seating capacity of 1900, and was
erected by the city for the purpose
OF taking care of large conventions
and expositioNs. 1t is handsome
structure and is unequalled in all
the west. Visitors to the Denver APP
pie show will receive that same cour-
teous treatment that has always been
remembered by persons attending any
sort of gathering in the city.

STRIKE AT THE LIVING WRONG

There has been a superabundance
of cheap moralizing or demoralizing
upon the death of Edward II. Harri-
man-not so much in Denver as in
other parts of the country. where
publicists have been able to read
lurid lessons in his end Some of
the sermons and editorials are rather
taxing to patience.
The real lesson is not in Harri-
mans death. That was inevitable
something beyond his control. Caesar
said:
Death. necessary end.
VIII come when 1t will come"
, The moral is in the life-the daily
deed. the tenacious purpose; and the
time to challenge the man. the time
TO arraign his work, is while he is
here to mold his labor according to
justice and to wisdom.
II is too late, after the power and
the pomp are withered by the frosty
fingers of the last messenger

There are many evils to be conquer

versities yet to be atoned and some

FLATTERING OPENING OF
HOEL BUSINESS COLLEGE

The Hoel Business College, located
in its handsome new quarters in the
Center block, is starting out most

blocks of business life to the young
businessmen and women, are removed
by skillful teaching and education.

recommended and they are all men
and women of experience. Regard
less of the school of marticulation.
the need for the knowledge of busi-
ness forms is met only by an educa-
tion in a strictly business institution
and with the business methods con-
stantly giving way to newer and bet
ter forms, and the innovations of in
ventions which constantly give rise to
shorter and more improved systems,
even the old business man can do well
by brushing away the cobwebs of
antiquated customs and useages and
keep up with the onward rush by at
tending a school of this nature.
The course of study is very COM
prehensive and includes all of the
intricacies of the commercial course.
shorthand, English preparatory, civil
service and others which constitute
the curriculum of the most thorough
of American business schools.

INSANITY THE DEFENSE.
Case of Mrs. Ferguson Is Brought tt
Trial.


Independence, Kan, March 81
The trial of Mrs. Martha Ferguson of
Coffeyville, charged with the murder
of her 15-year-old daughters illegiti-
mate infant has been started in the
district court.
The babe, it is alleged, was born at
3 o'clock on the morning of February
Is and the mother of the girl cut it's
throat with a butcher knife, and,
creeping to the back yard, dug hole
and buried the little body. The next
day, to hide the evidence of her crime,
it is asserted, she had a vault dug
nearby so that the soft dirt would be
thrown out and over the little grave.
Neighbors having heard significant
quarreling and observed the myster-
ious movements of Mrs. Ferguson,
told the Coffeyville police and the
county attorneys office was notified.
An investigation followed and the lit
tie body was uncovered. Physicians
made an examination and stated that
the child was of normal development
and was undoubtedly alive when born.
1t was brought out in the evidence this
afternoon that it not only breathed,
but cried Mrs. Ferguson, the daugh
ter and the husband and father were
on the stand this afternoon in defense
of the woman, but the case looks bad
for her. Insanity will quite likely be
the plea of the defense.

Pearce. who has a long string of
anases and has been a terror in many
of the western states, was brought to
the federal prison April "a, 1896, having
been convicted, at Topeka, of break
ing into and robbing a postoffice in
Kansas. Prior to his escape he had
been turbulent prisoner and had re-
peatedly been reported for some in
fraction of the regulations. On June 1,
1898, while at work on the site of the
new prison he with fifteen other men,
seized the arms of the guards and held
them off until a successful escape was
made.
When Warden McClaughry took
charge of the prison he began a search

the Wyoming state prison, at Rawlins,
where he had been sent for robbing
the postoffice at Buffalo. in that state.
He was pal of Jim Horn, one of the
most notorious outlaws in the west,

was captured the governor of Wyom-
in was obliged to call out a company
of state troops to protect the jail and
prevent a lynehing.
Pearce's term in the wyoming prison
expired February L. 1907. and upon his
release he found an officer from the
federal prison awaiting to take him
into custody to serve the term for
which he was originally sentenced.
His escape caused the forfeiture of his
good time. but this was restored to
him by the department of Justice. This
amounts to two years, ten months and
twenty-one days.
Last fall Pearce wrote a letter to the
attorney general asking that his good
time be given back to him. promising
that there would be no further in

approved by Warden McClaughry and
also by the attorney general.
Pearce after escaping from the fed

Wyoming, went up into Nebraska
where he robbed a postoffice. He was
caught and for this was sent to the
Nebraska state prison for five years
