little iron cot in cell of the federal
prison here John r. Walsh. who today
began serving a five-year sentence for
misapplying the funds of the Chicago
National Bank. spent his first night
in the penitentiary.
If the change from luxurious room

a hardship with the prisoner, he did
not show it by his actions. He has ac-
cepted his new situation with smiling
good grace. He is outspokeu In his
approval of the kindly manner in
which he has been treated here. But
behind his brave front there is be-
lieved to be secret belief in his own
sentence. Tonight 1t became known
that while Walsh was talking in pri-
vate with an old friend-a man like
himself. with white hair-whom he
has known for a half a century. he re-
marked sadly:

my sentence II am not pardoned."
The new surroundings did not make

THE WINTER IN ILLINOIS
COLDEST IN MANY YEARS

We we're promised this year an open
winter. The goose bone. the corn
husk. the muskrat hut, the squirrel
fur and all the other signs presaged

have had the worst climate that we
have experienced for twenty years.
Just as everybody was saying that
things had changed and that Illinois
was to have tropical sunshine in the
winter. a blast from the northwest
descended upon US and froze us up.
The truth seems to be that the wealth

ROOT SUGGESTS COURT
TO MAKE UNIFORM LAWS

Washington. Jan. 20.-Two distinct
features marked the sessions OF the
Civic Federation yesterday-the unex-
pected speech OF Senator Elihu Root
and the deep interest displayed in the
labor world and the representatives
OF those who hire labor in the matter
OF compensation OF employees for In
juries.
Senator Root, who was not on the
programme. astonished the conference
when he suggested the creation of a
commissioners court to draft uniform
laws

merit" said Senator Root, at will win
its way into the minds OF the people.
Some things advocated by those
bodies has already taken their place
In the serious condition OF the nation"
The discussion on the subject OF
compensation for accidents brought
into the field OF speakers. Samuel
Gompers. John Hays Hammond. John
Mitchell. August Belmont and George
NJ. Gillett.
Mr.. Gompers declared the European
mine owners had better conception
OF the care of their employees and the
operation OF their plants than Ameri-
can mine owners. He said the United
States was the most backward OF all
countries In protecting those who. by
accident. were deprived OF their earn
ing capacity.

BUSINESS MEN OF GREELEY
REDUCE NOMBER OF PAPERS
Found Four Fighting Newspapers In Town MoreIThan
They Were Willing to Stand For-So Now
There Are Bot Two

A notable thing happened in Gree
ley a few months ago.
Four newspapers were consolidated
into two.
1t happened this way. For. years
Greeley had three newspapers.
Enough. as anybody will admit-and
too many as every newspaper man
knows. Then a blooming idiot who
posed as a newspaper man started a
fourth.
Four newspapers in a town a little
larger than Canon City, proved more
than an epidemic of small pox. 1t
proved a high tax on every legitimate
business. Regular business could not
support the four papers so some of
them had to resort to blackmail meth
DDS and were forced to stir up poliu-
cal strlfe-for pay.
You can imagine what four papers
could start and carry on If you have
ever been in a town where there was
a newspaper fight--well 1t was worse
than war as Sherman pictured It.
So the fourth paper in Greeley turn
ed out to be the most extravagant
luxury the town ever experienced.

PRETTY WEDDING CEREMONY
SOLEMNIZED LAST NIGHT
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Leo Tannehill and Miss Nellie La
Plant. both OF this county. were prin-
cipals in pretty wedding that was
celebrated by Rev. J. T. Thomas OF
the Presbyterian church at the home
OF the groom's sister, Mrs. s. NJ. Hig-
gins, 31s River street. at 1880 O'Clock
last night. There was large COM
pany OF guests present, most OF whom
were related to the contracting
couple. The bride has been resi-
dent OF Florence for many years and
is a sister of Mrs. George p Nix OF
this city.
Cañon City record., 1910-01-27

The Business Man after a while got
wise-he came to. For it was the
Business Mans fault that the new
paper was started. 1t never could
have been started IL he had not given
it his encouragement.
The business men got together and
they said that they would not longer
support the disagreeable newspaper
fight.
They said that two newspapers were
enough for Greeley and all they
would support. They told the news
paper men IL they would consolidate
or do something to reduce the num-
mer. they would literally support two
papers and they would protect the
field against new comers. They sign
ed an iron clad agreement that they
would give no business to any new
newspaper proposition.
So Greeley has now but two news
papers run conservatively for the good
OF the town and no one has enough
money or is fool enough to try to
break into the field. And incidently
the business men of Greeley save the
$4,000 a year 1t took to support the
other two papers.
