 TWO- DAYS LEFT FOR ST. JAMES FAIR
Two Building Lots Among Attractive
 Gifts That Visitors Desire.

After this evening there will be but one more night left for the public to help Father O'ConnerI raise funds for St. James building fund, and that will be next Monday evening, when the fair closes and the prizes will be awarded. Considering the unfavor- able weather the attendance has been good and with two pleasant evenings in prospect the fair should wind up in a grand success. The fact that two building lots have been given to help on the enterprise ought to enlist the support of every man who hopes to secure one.
 The music given each night by the Stratford string orchestra, is very en- ticing and lively, just the notes to set young folks to dancing. In a few days the rectory will be removed from the old building which it now occu- pies to the residence which has so long been in the hands of Drk Cogs- well. Then there will be no good req son why the old building may not be demolished and the ground cleared for the new church. This Father O'Con- ner hopes to do in the early spring time. Work once begun on the church will inspire new hope and cour- age in the friends of the enterprise, and the building will begin slowly to arise at the corner of Main and Broad streets. one of the very best locations in town.

FIRE CHIEF MOONEY RECOMMENDS MORE
 PERMANENT MEN
Fire Commission Can't Make Improve
 ments Because Funds are Low.

"The fire department should have a storehouse," said Fire Commissioner Charles Lee at the meeting of the fire board, last night, discussing proposed improvements at No. engine house, which question was finally tabled. The commissioner said such storehouse would save it's own cost. Hay. straw, grain and other materials could be purchased i'll large quant1es While the price was low and stored. The other commissioners agreed with MT. Lee.
 Commissioner G. F. Crawford out lined his plan for remodelling the en- zine house on Madison avenue. He proposed that the present hayloft be changed so that one half could be used for a toilet room. He advised that the roof be raised to allow plenty of room to store hay and straw in the other half Commissioner Crawford said that the bathrooms at this house were unfit for use. and that the captain had been sleeping in the card room for years He also said that most of the other houses had been put. in shape. The cost would be about $500 if the roof were raised and about $50 less if the roof remains unchanged. Owing to scarcity of funds the matter was tabled.
 A communication was received from Fire Chief Mooney recommending that the lowest number of permanent men at each house be as follows: For Co. No 1, six men: Go. No. ?, four men; Go. No. 3, four men: Go. No. 4, four men; Co. No. 5, six men; Go. No. 6, four men; Go. Mo- ', four men; Co. No. 8, three men; Go. No. g. four men; Truck Co. No. 1. four men; Truck Go. No 2, six men; Truck Go. No. 3, four men; Chemical No. 1. six men: and Chemical No. 2, three men.
 In the discussion which followed the reading of this communication Chief Mooney expressed the opinion that there ought to be F men at Chemical Co., No. 1 house. The commissioners liked the recommendation. but cannot carry it out owing to the lack of funds.
 Fireman Michael Casev of house No. 3 and Christopher McGough. driver at No. 3 house. who were found asleep on their night watch on the evening of the last meeting of the board. were warned against repetition of the of fense. Lieutenant Philip Hegerty was before the board to tell why he order ed his company to box g instead of 127 Aug 27. He said the company was under the command of Captain Rutherford while in the house and that the order to respond to box 32 was giv- en by the captain. CalIlnan William A. Webb sent in his resignation which was accepted.

Both dancing and singing are the features of this elaborate act which serves to illus trate the difference between Russian and American ideas of music hall stunts. The music has a regular grand opera thrill to it while the dancing reminds one constantly of the group dancing in the second act of The Merry Widow The first part of the act consisted in the singing of songs by the two leaders of the company while the second half con- sisted of dancing by the whole group who began whirling by ones and then by twos with the little impulsive shouts of the Slavic dances until the whole stage was a whirling, stepping mass filled with all sorts of sugges- tions of Cossack revelries It was a brilliant act from start to finish.

MISSES THE SUNSHINE

B. B. Wallace of Monte Vista,
Colo, who marketed carloads of
cattle yesterday, does not take very
kindly to cloudy days and mud,
such as he found down here in the
lower attitudes. 1--WE are not ac-
customed to any such weather up
in the clear atmosphere of the San
Luis valley" he said, "This cloudy
weather has depressing effect
upon persons who have been liv-
ing where the sun shines almost
every day of the whole year. We
have a delightful climate, and a
very productive valley, up there.
And this has been good season.
Cattle are coming here to market
fat, and are bringing a good price.
In recent years we have gone to
raising hogs, and find them money
makers, for the reason that we
have a high market for them right
at home. Peas are leading crop
up there. We fatten hogs and
sheep on them. These peas and
the sheep feeding industry have
made the valley, although there
will not be as many fed as some
former years. 1t is safe to say,
perhaps, that about IT'S 900 sheep
will be fed there. The hogs fat
tened on the peas, as well as the
sheep, possess quality said to be
a little superior to those fed on
corn and other rations. Pea fed
hogs sell at very high prices.
They make very choice meat.
We are too high for fruit, and
some other things that are raised
elsewhere in Colorado. but we can
get these things shipped in, and
make up for what we lost in that
line by raising good small grain
crops, and in other ways. Oats
weighed over 40 lbs to the bushel,
and wheat is much heavier than
wheat raised in the lower attitudes.
But we are never troubled with
mud, and that is something to be
thankful for. kansas City Dro-

A FARMERS VIEW

A farmer had this to say at the
Farmers National Congress held
recently at Raleigh, N. G.:
"There is now a conspiracy
planned. and unless you prevent
it the next congress will destroy
S346,OO0,OO0 in greenbacks and
$6OO,OOO,OOO in silver, which is
your money and my money-which
is in fact, tn money of the peo-
pie, and which is the only money
that comes direct from the gov
eminent to the people without
bearing the burden of interest.
THE plan, which is headed by
Senator Aldrich and the monetary
interest of Wall Street, is to des-
troy this money of the people and
establish a strong centralized bank
ing system, which will issue no
money except what comes to the
people through the banks at a
high rate of interest, and which
law if enacted, will farm out the
whole monetary system of the
people and the government to a
few pet banking interests, who
have established so-called elastic
currency, which will only come to
the people through the banking
systems at high rate of interest,
and which can be expanded and
contracted at the will of the bank.

ing, commercial and financial in

CLEVELAND As AN OBJECT LESSON

Ss.e.' Se><A>D ~ NV OoSGNA AE~ooON
The Cleveland struggle shows in
miniature how the machinery of
government, ostensibly intended
for the peoples use, is geared up
against the people; it shows how
unavoidable it is in the hands of
the many, but how easy it is in the
hands of the few. The city, like
Congress, is bound like Gulliver
with a thousand thongs, when it
seeks to achieve deliverance from
privilege. The city could not en-
ter the electric lighting business
as it willed. 1t could not settle the
street railway question as it
wished. 1t could not own the
railways nor turn them over to
someone who would run them on
terms deemed fair to the commun-
ity. The courts lent themselves to
over fifty injunction suits leveled
at the city. Even the charter of
the city was taken away by hos
tile partisan court. The rights of
