Piekpockets Busy.

It looks as II there is a gang Of
pickpockets operating on the railroad
between Denver and Silver Plume.
Two cases Of persons being relieved
of their pocketbooks are reported for
this week. In one instance, a Mr..
Whitley had his purse taken at Silver
Plume last Sunday and the empty
pocket book was found a couple Of
days after near the railroad track in
the west end of this city. Tom John
son left for the train ont day this
week and had his pocket book with
him when he left the corner Of Fif.
teenth and Miner street. He got on
the train and shortly after felt for
the book and It was gone. Last year
such transactions were going on adm
arrests were made. 1t would not be
out OF place for the railroad to spot"
suspicious characters and make a les
son Of them. There is the very best
chance for these road agents to work
their profession during the tourist
season when the trains are crowded
and particularly at stations where the
most crowding is going on while pas.
sengers are leaving and entering the
trains. The travelling public needs pro
lection and are entitled to M.-Sift.

Manager Matt Ryan, of the Sena-
tor, is making good progress with
that property. In the work Of raising
in the third level west, new body
of ore was encountered this week.
Assays from the dirt show the first
class stuff to run 2-56 ounces in gold
and II ounces in silver, valued at
$56.70 per ton. The second class
assays 1-O2 ounces in gold and10 o..
in silver and valued at $25.40 per ton.
The fourth level has not been work
ed of late on account of the bad air,
caused by the damp weather. This
level is looking good. and, although,
the ore is of low grade, averaging
$14.00 per ton, the vein is "a inches
wide and shows signs Of being contin
uous. The Senator, under the able
management of Mr.. Ryan is bound to
be a success.

LARGE ENROLMENT

This is ihe second week of the sum-

completed and work was begun the
first day. Everything is working as
smoothly row as if the school had
been going on for month.
Z The enro 'lment is very satisfactory
under the conditions. The total en-
rollment, Including the regular stu
dents and special students, is between
sixty-five end seventy, and there are
a number Of others who expect to en-
roll soon.
Some of the teachers Of the terrific
ry who were expected, and who ex-
pected to come, have decided finally
to give up the summer school for this
summer and attend the National Edu-
cational Association which meets in
Denver in July. The fact that this
association has not met within easy
reach of the teachers of this terrific
ry for fourteen years. ana win prob
ably not 20 SO again for the same
length of time. has caused many to
decide to attend it this year while
they have the opportunity.
Many of those in attendance are
from distant parts of the territory.
This is much better nan to have
mesely local teachers. The faculty
of the summer school is as follows:

| Washington, June 8.-The seEats
today began the consideration Of the
wooden schedule. Senator Do'liver
opposed the finance committees S
amendment, providing a return to the
Dingley tariff rates and asked for the
acceptance of the House rate, which
is a decrease. The increase made by
the finance committee is in accord
'anc. with the settled policy for re-
turn to the Dingley tariff throughout
the woolen schedule.
In defense of the higher rates, Sena-
ator Warren, considered an expert in
woolens. explained the propriety Of
maintaining Dingley duties.
Referring to the fact that the Wyo-
kElng senasor Is rcputed 10 be fhe

yer declared Warren was the great
est shepherd since Abraham
Senator Warren disayowed the per
sona1 ownership of single sheep.
cow or horse. except animals for his
personal use, but added he was a
stockholder in companies engaged in
such industries as he was in railroad
companies. Dolliver read memorials
from the manufacturers OF carded
wool, asking an adyalorem duty as the
just method of protecting all parties
concerned.
Both Senators Warren and Smoot
insisted that all the top waste and
kindred wools brought into this
country suppIanted just SO much
American wools. They said rags and
shoddy wools would come in under
the lower duty.
Mr.. Dolliver said it would be better
to have poor wool for INDECENT peo-
pie than none.
Senator Carter of Montana took
the senators through all the phases
of woolen manufacture in a lecture
IN which were exhibited chest of
woolen samples, explaining the tech
nical terms in respect to wool. He
maintained that the high rate should
be sustained. Many senators gathered
around the speakers desk as he ex-
planned the modes of manufacture.

43 BALLOTS TO SPARE
LOCAL OPTION FIGHT IN ANCIENT
CITY HOTTEST IN CAPITALS
HISTORY.
WHITE RlBBoNERs WERE coNFI-
DENT OF WINNING BY BIG
MAJORITY.

Santa FL, N. NJ, June S.-Santa Fe
went "wet' in the local option election
yesterday by narrow margin. Com
plete returns received from the sew
eral wards today show a majority OF
43 votes in favor of continuing the
saloons. Two of the four wards gave
a small majority for the "drys."
This tells in brief the story of one
of the hottest municipal elections OF
the Capital city. For several weeks
past, or ever since the city council
ordered an election to be held to de-
eide the liquor question, the campaign
for and against the saloons has been
waged and this campaign continued
until the day of election.
The Temperance advocates were
led bg Mrs. II. M. Byrd and Mrs.
Kath crime Patterson, members Of the
National w. G. T. u, who have been
in the territory a year past, and who
during the last Legislature made
hard fight to secure the enactment of
an absolute prohibition or stringent
territorial local option law. They |
failed in this, and the result of the
election yesterday marks their second
defeat in the war against the traffic
in intoxicating liquors.
Open Air Meetings.
Almost nightly during the past two
weeks open air meetings were held
in the Plaza at which stirring address
ses were delivered by these leading
temperance advocates. by Mayor Jose
d. sena, Judge John R. McFie, of the
district court. Attorney B. M. Read,
r. L. fBaca and other prominent citi-
zens. A. M. Dettelbach, manager of
the local opera house, was engaged
to give nightly exhibitions in the
Plaza with his motion picture machine
throwing on large screen pictures OF
the famous drama "Ten Nights in a
Barroom." Because Of the strong
support given the movement for pro
hibition by leading citizens of Santa
Fe, the White Ribboners were conf
dent of victory, aud the result was a
great disappointment to them.
Have Not Lost Hope.
1--WE have not lost hope, by the re
suit Of yesterdays election, stated
a prominent member of the local tenn
perance union to correspondent this
afternoon. but we will at once lay
plans for another campaign Of longer
duration and greater effort. While
do not care to openly make the
charge that any underhand means
were resorted to by the liquor dealers
to defeat mis- election, do know that
they were active IN behalf of their in
terests. although any work done by
them to win, was done on the quiet.
