great saving of time in western
travel from here.
All Of the bigger roads have

line coming by way of Deadwood.
The roads have cast envious eyes
at the virgin coal lands to the west,

there has been much speculation

The City of Philip Up-to-date

On last Tuesday afternoon the
citizens of our little city were
very much surprised to be given
unexpectedly the greatest auto
mobile parade that has ever been
witnessed west of the Missouri
river in this state. About four
teen cars at suitable distance
apart, parading the various streets
of the city, with view of show
ing the interest manifested in the
great gasoline trans portation
vehicle in this new and prosperous
part of the state. ...-
This parade was the result of
one of the finest enterprises that
has greeted the business circle of
the city, this being a complete up
to-date automobile garage owned
and controlled by the enterprising
firm of Winter Bros, two hustling

we are glad to state fills a long felt
want in our community.
We want to say further that the
number of automobiles in the
parade did not in any way do JUS
tice to the number that should
have been in the parade, as a great
number of cars were out and quite
a few were unable to get a chauffer
for their car. 1t is needless to
say that it was rather exciting and
inspiring as we'll, to see this string
of automobiles, painted in various
colors, with whistles and horns de-
claring their possession of the city
where only four years ago roamed
the coveted market cattle and the
quiet contented little prairie dog.
After having made quite trip
on the various streets the cars
were arranged in line at the inter-
section of Pine Street and Larimer
Avenue and photographs were
taken of the crowd by Mr.. High.
Another view was also taken in
front of the Garage building, and
we are anxiously waiting the COM
pletion of these pictures for we
know each one of our friends will
be pleased to have one of each.

Iy-hve years old, wealthy eccentric
bachelor of Eminence, N. Y, prepared
funeral pyre, enveloped the dead
body OF his brother William, seventy
years old, in grain sack, dragged il

pile. Then he completely hid the corpse
with an old mattress and lighted the
mass.
A farmer working In an adjoining
deld caught the odor of burning flesh
and rushed to where Pindar stood,
poking the fire with a pitchfork. He
told his neighbor he was only de-

the neighbor to poke the burning en-

TWO WOMEN AND BABY TREED
Vicious Bull, Attracted by Red Dress,
Stands Dangerously Near
for Hours.

Trenton, N. J.-Chased by vicious
bull, two young women and a baby,
members of picnic party, were freed
for several hours at the Robinson
farm and remained in the branches
until the animal was driven off by a
couple OF farm hands, who discovered
their predicament.
Miss Margaret Alpaugh, of this city,
and Miss Rachael South, of Yardley,
Pa, had been spending the day with
a number of friends at the farm and
were returning to this city when a
bull, Infatuated by the bright red dress
of the baby of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Hulse, of this city, which one of the
young women carried, charged down
the field toward them.
The young women ran for the near
est tree and when one had climbed
into the branches the other passed the
baby up to her and then did the stee-
plejack act herself. The bull circled
the tree and stood guard under 1t.
AS time passed the women became al
most exhausted clinging to the
branches and holding the baby be-
tween them, but the fortunate appear
ance of a couple of farm hands, who
chased away the bull, brought them
relief.

DOCTOR MAKES A MISTAKE
Good Story Told Of Popular Physl.
sIan Who Made 5lunder in Sending
Out Two Parcels.

A droll story is told of one Of the
most popular physicians in Vienna. He
was not little astonished at the con
tents OF two letters which he received
lately. They stated, in terms the re
verse of f1attering, that his drugs had
not merely done no good, but had act
ually aggravated the troubles they
were mentioned to cure
The doctor consulted his notebook
and the truth at once dawned upon
him. About six weeks ago, an actress
brunette, then performing in the
Merry Widow" called upon him. Her
beauty was of the Spanish type, and a
perceptible down which shaded the
finely formed upper lip of the actress
had daily begun to grow darker. She
t1midly stated her case and besought
the doctor to give her remedy for
the unwelcome growth. The doctor
promised to send her a remedy with
the utmost privacy.
Immediately after the actress had
gone a young lieutenant came in to
consult the physician. In grave tones
he told his tale of Woe The faint in
dications of his mustache, in spite of
all his efforts, would not develop as
rapidly as he desired The doctor
laughingly undertook to help him out
OF his difficulty, and promised the
young lieutenant, who was trying in
vain to curl the ends of his mustache,
to send the remedy to his address by
a trusty messenger
The scales now fell from the doctors
eyes. Either he himself or his mes
senger had exchanged the small par
cells containing such opposite rene
dies-thence the bitter complaints and
reproaches. The drugs had, the doc
tor found, acted most effectually. The
actress was obliged to have recourse
to soap and razor to get rid of the lux
uriant growth on her upper lip, while
the lieutenant was ready to tear out
the hair of his head at the loss of the
few struggling hairs of his mustache.

strange sounds coming from this

musicians have left, and on nights
when there is no band meeting and no
one practising there. 1t is also assert
ed these same sounds have been
heard by occupants of the rooms in
the building. but not by SO many as
heard them on this occasion, when
there were five good citizens, who are
not given to spiritualism, or anything
of the sort, heard the sounds, and
are willing to swear they came from
the room occupied only by the band

97,700 year through various associa,
lions, while numbers of people spent
on the average, e1,50O during the year
for providing food for the starving
school children of London.
Five years ago there were fewer

their parents could not supply. To-day
there are $4,000 children in this posi-.

week.
For years the pubic of London had
subscribed nearly $4,000 a year to
provide food for the children. That
money is no longer forthcoming. The
growth in the army of the starving
children Of London during the past
four years has been so great that more

Outdoor Life Necessary.

The longest-lived men are those en-.
gagged In healthy outdoor occupations
such as farming, simply because they
lead an active, muscular life in the
open air
Bodily active keeps at bay the dis
eases of sedentary middle life. Gout
and rheumatism lie in wait for the
man who does not walk five miles in
the week, who hates games and be.
lieves that golf and tennis are silly
and waste nf time.
1t is the active, busy woman who
keeps her complexion when she is past
forty years Of age, and girls twenty
years her junior grow sallow and
anaemic for lack of outdoor exercise.
You must live a sedentary life, you
say? We don't belieev It, Even if
your day is spent in an Office or a
shop, you have the early morning for
a cold bath, and tweDty minutes with
dumb-bells. You have your evenings,
and you have your week-ends.

each side bent upon broadening the cues

with the comparatively simple issue of

the electorate quickly became manifold.
