Mr.. Carnegie's Health Fairly Good.

Although Mr. Carnegie was vivacious
in his greetings and sprightly in his
steps. it was apparent to those who had
not seen him since his last visit that his
seventy-four years were beginning to tell
on him. When he left his train and at
other times he was supported at either
arm by acquaintances There was more
intimate courtesy III this assistance than
necessity, 1t was declared. Mr.. Carnegie
himself said he was much benefited by
his western trip. A report that he had
a fainting spell after dinner last night was
denied at the Hotel Schenley. He had re-
tired. when the inquiry was made, in
usual fatigue but not i'll.
Charles A. Taylor president of the
hero fund commission. said late last
night that he had been with Mr.. Car
negie nearly all the evening up to the
time he retired, and that he knew of no
fainting spell.

Soon after his arrival, for rea sons

ceeded to Europe, where he is at pres

In conclusion the president said:
"Meccc0s good name has spread far
and wide, in spite of certain attacks
in foreign countries, of which the re-
suit has been that attention has been
drawn to our country, and that the
truth in regard to its unquestionable
progress has prevailed"

Billy Spencer in Colorado.

The ARGUS is always glad to publish any good news about it's old and highly esteemed con- temporary, w. E. Spencer, for merly of Clare rendon.
 The following is taken from the Canon City, Col, Daily Rec ord: William E. Spencer has been employed to take charge of the editorial department of the Fremont County Leader during the campaign, a position that he is eminently well qualified to fill. MT. Spencer is a Southern man and Democrat of the old school; hence 1t may be expected that his political dogmas and disqui- sitions will be of the Jefferson ian-Jacksonian type. rather than of the Bryanesque pattern. For twenty-five years MT. Spencer was one of the most brilliant and versatile newspaper men in Ark ansas and his rank is a high one among the journalists of that state. A too close application to his work impaired his health to such a degree that he was com- pelled to remove to Colorado to recoup his vitality, and for sev- eral years he has been a resident of Canon City, being recognized hy those who know him as one of it's most consistent friends and boosters. No man in the community is better fitted, either by temperament, education or experience, to assume the duties of the place he has been called upon to fill.' 7
