Dr.. Franklin r. Carpenter Dead.

DIR. Franklin r. Carpenter, noted
throughout the civilized world as an ex-
pert on pyrtic smelling and man
whose reputation in mining operations
was international, died Of heart disease
yesterday in Chicago. Word was re-
ceived that DIR. Carpenter was i'll two
days ago, but it was not thought that the
attack was a serious one and his son,
Arthur Carpenter, was preparing to leave
for the East to join the sick man when
the telegram announcing his death was
brought to him.
DR.. Carpenter was born in Parkers-
burg, w. Va, November 5th, 1913. He
attended Ohio University, coming to
Colorado soon after his graduation. He
taught school in Gilpin county and in
1872 was elected territorial superintend-
ent of public instruction. He could not
hold the Office because he was under
twenty-five years, the age limit. Two
years later he was again elected to the
office and was with the entire Demo
cratic ticket, thrown out. In the early
SOS DR.. Carpenter moved to the Black
Hills, where he was dean of the school
of mines of South Dakota He then
constructed and conducted the Dead
wood and Delaware smelter and in
vented the pyritic system of smelling
which is still in use in that section of
the country. He came to Denver in
1900 and erected the Carpenter smelter
at Golden.
DR.. Carpenter is survived by widow
who was Miss Annette Howe, and five
children, Arthur, Cranston, Malcolm,
Annette and Talbot Carpenter.

The Spearfish Trlp.

Our Teresa Garlock came back from
Spearfish with the silver medal instead
of the gold one, but Custer High School
need not he anything but very proud Of
its representative. We feel very sure
that first honors would have been ours
had the Custer crowd of rooters been
able to reach Spearfsh in time, but for
that unfortunate episode we can only
blame late train. However the entbu-
siasm of the crowd was too far away to
Offset the determined and continued
roofing of the Normal. Added to that
the tedious two and one-half hours wait
for the arrival of the Edgemont candi-
date was enough to wear into shreds
and tatters the strongest nerves, and as
a third unfavorable condition to contest
one sister against the other, broke the
spirit of our contestant, who felt that
everything was against her.
In spite of all that, Teresa aside from
the loss of the natural buoyancy and ex-
huberance of spirit, one of her strongest
points, won and held her audience in
remarkable manner. She was perfect
and extremely artistic in voice, tone and
gesture, excelling in every respect, her
splendid performance in the local con-
test here. She stepped beyond the linn
its of amateurism and in her ipterpreta-
ton of Gentlemen the King" showed
herself an artist, impressing all her
friends with her brilliant prospects for
the future.
In her sister Ellen she had particu-
larly strong rival. Nothing but the high.
est praise can be accorded to the other
Custer girl, who won out over Teresa,
and those Who heard Teresa here must
know that Ellen was great" for we felt
that our girl could not be beat" How
ever we can well be proud, for the fact
that both are Custer girls and Mr.. and
Mrs. Garlock are to be warmly congrat.
ulated that they have such exceptional
in their family.

inches long and 2Oinches wide, mounted

The sides slope up from the front toward

spearfish FIrst-Custer Second.

| In the oratorical contest held at the
State Normal here last night, with Lead,
Belle Fourche, Sturgis, Custer and Edge
mont, competing, Spearfsh won the
gold medal in the senior contest, with
Custer close second, while Edgemont
captured the junior prize with Sturgis
as second.
The winner of the senior gold medal,
Miss Ellen Garlock, of the State Normal,
and her sister, of Custer, Miss Teresa
Garlock, winner of the silver medal,
are both strong and impressive charact-
ers, possessing talent of the highest
order coupled with a personal charm
and magnetism that involuntary wins
and holds their audience as if by magic.
In the contest last night they were cas-
lily in a class by themselves, not only in
the matter of native talent and force
but evidently in the matter of training
as well.
Quite opposites in many respects,
though sisters, their selections may be
said to have been equally so, both hav-
ing chosen parts admirably suited to
their special powers of Interpretation
and ability.
Miss Garlock, winner Of the gold
medal, is of the blonde type, with light
golden hair, clear blue eyes, and COM
plexi0n remarkable for its clearness and
rosiness of hue. With a smile for
every one, free, natural, and unaffected,
coupled with deep sense of apprecia
ton and the striking evidence Of her
thought for others above self, she en-.
tered the contest, secure in advance, in
the hearts of her friends and bearers
This fact was indeed in evidence from
the nature of public demonstrations on
the part Of her friends, long before the
program was formerly opened, many of
the class yel;s being unique in connect
ion with her name, the most popular
line being "We will bank Ellen against
them alp, or words to that effect.
Miss Teresa is inclined to the bru
nette type, dark hair, yet strikingly fair
in complexion and is of stronger figure.
With selection calling for strong, dra-
matte action and force, she was in her
strongest sphere, and it is doubtful if
her particular selection could have been
improved upon. In gesture, voice and
force she was the synonyme of strength
and positive action.
The reading by Miss Gleckler, teacher
and elocutionist, of Custer, tended to
add materially to the pleasures of the
evening. Miss Gleckler is an elocution-
list of exceptional talent, and although
called upon, without warning or prepar-
alton, in order to fill up time while
waiting for the late contestant, she
proved well equal to the occasion, and
her Interpretation of the newly married
lady's first shopping at the meat market,
easily caused the guess to lodge in the
minds of the audience, as to the proba-
BILE source of the Custer training which
has enabled that little city to capture so
many honors with her students. Spear

JUST OFF THE PRESS
AND RIGHT UP TO DATE
1910 Edition of the World Almanac
Is Now on the Mar
ket.

The mission OF the World Almanac is
! to eliminate the superficial and replace
it with facts; facts you may have with
! you; facts that may be tossing about
in an active brain that won't be remem-
bered; facts that make your acts I'M
! Improbable; facts that fit your peck
ct, financially and literally; facts that
adapt themselves to any space or place
without inconvenience until you make
a convenience of them; facts are not
facts unless they can be proven, and
proven facts are necessities every man
must encounter at some time. The
1910 World Almanac is better than
ever. Not that it is more complete
than ever, but because the world has
lived another year and things have
progressed and happened in the light
of another years added knowledge and
experience. The history Of the year
just passed is brought down to the
last tick of the clock; 365 days Of the
worlds history, in combination with
something about almost everything
you should know Users of the World
Almanac will tell you to buy It, not
borrow 1t, and make your doubts GER
tainties. Never think you know some
thing when you can know you know
it; you don't need a room full Of books
to explain one fact When you buy
the World Almanac you buy certainty,
convenience and knowledge with con-
seriousness of all three; it is an educa-
ton to the uneducated, postgraduate
course to the graduate; it is the mem
DRY of those who know and the creation
of memory in those who don't. On
sale wherever books are sold.

DELAeRENGE'S MlSHAPS.

Frenchnnan Killed In MonopIane FIish:
Was Prominent Aviator.
Leon Delagrange. the Frenchman
who was recently killed when his
monoplane broke in midair at Bor-
deaux, France, was we'll known as an
aviator, not only as having at various
times held the record for speed and
distance, but also for his daring. Bis
career was marked by several serious
accidents before the fatal one, but he
continued his exploits, earning the
reputation of a man who would run a
good deal of risk rather than disap-
point the spectators who had gathered
to see him fly.
Well known already as an automo-
bilist, Delagrange took up aviation in
the early stages of the sport and made
his first public ascent at Bagatelle,
France, on March 16, 1907, In a bi-
plane. He was satisfied then with e
flight of thirty feet, but a few days
later he took a passenger up and ac-
complished 453 feet.
On Nov. 3, 1907, he met with his first
accident at Issy, France. His machine
fell and was smashed, but he escaped
with few bruises and cuts. At Issy
also in the following May he had a
narrow escape, as with Farman he was
competing for the Armegaud prize of
$1,000 for a fight of fifteen minutes.
