stealing cloak from the cloak room of
the I. o. o. =. hall in this city, was Civ
en- hearing in the district court this
week, and the jury ro.urned a verdict

Christian Science church members hold

loss and reported it to the city marshal,
who started out on a still hunt for the
thief. In the meantime, McGregor was
heard from, and it was said he was try

not fall for the sale and immediately
notified Marshal Weidenhammer of her
sugpicions. The marshal found Ne
Gregor and arrested him. \ few days
later preliminary hearing was held,
at which the value of the cloak was
placed at $25. McGregor told his story
and said that he had loaned another
man some money which he had oh
tained by soaking his coat and vest, or
some article of clothing. He did not
know the other fellow, but said the
second man came to him and gave him

In speaking of the victory of the
anti-saloon people in this state at the
Tuesday election, the Denver News
says:
If ward in Pueblo, which the Anti
Saloonis.s expect to swing into line, Is
carried by local option. 100 saloons iu
Colorado will be wiped out as result
of Tuesdays election.
This is the result as figured by Il. L.
Mclaughlin, superintendent of the An
tiISaloon league. He feels that the
Pueblo ward, in which the contest is
not yet decided, is quite safe for local
option and is immensely gratified at
the increase in temperance sentiment
in the state, which the total vote in
dicated.
According to Superintendent Nc
Laughlin, every foot of territory in
Mesa, Montrose and Delta counties is
now dry. All saloons in Bent county
were eliminated, and besides the dozen
counties in the state now already dry,
there are dry belts in many others.
Mclaughlin estimates that nearly two.
thirds of the farming country of the
state is without saloons.
The superintendent is particularly
pleased over the fact that the election
in Colorado Springs closed the whiskey
drug stores in that city He considers
this the most notable victory of the
day. The partial victory of the anti
saloon forces in Pueblo is another re-
suit for which the league feels especin'-
ly grateful.
''The general result of the election
in the state Tuesday, where local option
was an issue, was very satisfactory to
our side," said Arthur NJ. Eppstein,
secretary of the Wholesale Brewers 4
Liquor Dealers association.

notice regarding the work on the pro-
posed high line canal in that section of

that as soon as the Grand Valley Water
Users association collect $4,000 of the
subscribed High Line fund work will
be started on the Palisade tunnel with
government funds. Just as fast as the
Wa.er Users association collect their
funds the government will match their
collections with the same amounts, and
on that basis the work will be done this
year. The necessary certificates are be.
ing prepared and will be sent from
Washington.
In formally notifying Secretary Aup

! I also wish to inform the Water
Users association that I am authorized
to begin the construction of tunnel No.
3 with the government funds and 20
continue such construction at a rate
which will not utilize the funds more
rapidly than the rate at which the
funds are collected, for cooperative
work by the Water Users association.
AS soon as you have collected $4,000
I will expend a similar amount on the
tunnel at once. In order that l may
be properly safeguarded in these ex-
penditures, | will request that you send
me signed statement as soon as you
have collected $4,000 and have it de-

MEASURE OF TRUE GREATNESS.
Success Never to BE Counted in Piles
Of Dollars.

What an unfortunate thing that the
idea should be dinned into the ear of
youth everywhere that 1t is a disgrace
to fail-that is, to fail to make money.
to accumulate property.
1t is not a disgrace to fail: but 1t is
a disgrace not to do ones level best
to succeed. Not failure, but low aim
is crime"
Multitudes of poor people to-day
who are not known outside Of their
own little communities are really
great successes when measured by all
that makes true greatness-their
heroic endeavors, their brave battle
for years with obstacles, playing q
losing game with heroism. Their
great patience and wonderful self-con-
troll under the criticism Of those who
do not understand them are evidence
that they have succeeded. The pos
session of q noble character is the
greatest evidence in the world that
one has succeeded.
On the other hand, II q man has
gotten a fortune, but has left his man
hood on the way to it; il he has bar
tered his good name in the process OF
getting 1t, he is still a failure, no mat
ter how much money he may have
accumulated.
A clean record IS the greatest kind
of a success And how few men Who
make big fortunes manage to save
their good name. to keep their record
clean!-Success Magazine.
