Local Entertainment Big Success.

Last evening in the gymnasium OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. occurred the first
annual gymnastic and athletic enter
tainment and II would be hard indeed
to bestow too much praise or to over
rate the merits of the first occasion
To begin with large crowd was in
attendance and they were unstintine
with their applause, from the first II
was plain that the spectators were
carried away by the excellence OF each
and every number.
The forming of pyramids and wand
exercises Of the younger boys class
was truly surprising and they went
through their stunts" without no
ticeable mistake and acted through
out as though they were veteran per
formers in the business not less than
fifteen years.
The club swinging of Mr.. G. H.
Marshall was probably the most tai
ented exhibition and II was beyond
criticism. The selection of the quar-
tette was Immensely enjoyed and the
work on the parellel bars was espec-
Ially good.
The games played by the boys
class however, evoked more applause
and laughter than any other feature
and the little fellows played with an
earnestness and determination worthy
of all which they received. The pro-
gram follows:
Piano solo, "Columbine Minuet," !"
(Belayhaye). Miss Estella Frank.
Maze drill. All classes.
Body building exercise and games.

Wand drill. Mems class.

A prominent society woman says
that she believes 80 per cent of wo-
mems woes comes from their unfor-
tunate desire to meddle, and perhaps
she is not far wrong. Many are not
content to confine their efforts to
their own affairs but are wildly anx-
ious to assist in their neighbors'.
When the opinion that, well, If Mr..
VI. were my husband, I'd show him
whether he could do so and so or
not" reaches the ears of Mrs. NJ, the
fat is in the fire. Another sure way
of getting in badly and being cord
tally disllked is through expressing
ones decided ideas about other peo-
pies children, for most women are
far more sensitive about their chill
dren than about themselves. The
cleverest thing woman can do is to
hold her tongue, and those who do
this successfully and Just nod and
smile or perhaps now and then raise
their eyebrows in surprise when some
of their set are busy turning over the
affairs of an absent sister, will soon
find that they have very few worries
and be surprised in a short time to
note how their popularity has in
creased.-Denver Republican.

1t was late yesterday afternoon
when DR.. Hopkins. the eminent alien
| ist, of Denver, took the witness stand
He had made careful examination OF
Harris on the day before and he had
listened to the testimony of Mrs.
Harris, of Mrs. Blaine, Harris's mar
ried daughter, and of other witnesses
as TO Harris's strange actions DR..
Hopkins declared most emphatically
that his examination of Harris failed
to bring to light any indications
whatever of insanity. He declared
that there was nothing that he had
discovered about Harris, his life, his
habits or his actions. to Indicate that
he was insane. He stated that Harris
was eccentric but to be eccentric is by
no means to be insane.
The testimony of this noted auth
ority on mental and nervous troubles
and diseases was the most important
and the most convincing testimony
given at the hearing. 1t thoroughly
convinced the jury that Harris was
not insane and when the jury took
the case. about o'clock. 1t was not
long in reaching a verdict.
Harris escaped conviction and
penitentiary sentence at the last term
of the district court simply because
the jury believed that he was insane.
There was not the least doubt that
he committed the forgery charged to
him. At that trial no expert in insan-
ity cases testified.
Now that Harris has been declared
sane by jury in the county court
he finds himself facing another Grim
lnal charge, a second charge of forg-
cry and his guilt is most apparent.
Unless Harris can furnish bond he
must remain in the county jail until
the October term of the district court
when he will again be arraigned for
trial

RECALLS A STORY
OF WESTERN
SLOPE

w. Marion Porter. the construction
engineer, who is widely and fayorably
known in Colorado, and especially on
the Western slope, died this morning
at his home in Denver following an
operation a week ago for appendi-
citis. Porter was the brother-in-law
of Mrs. Carl johnson of Montrose,
Mrs, Porter being the sister of Mrs
johnson.
The death of Mr. Porter recalls a
hot railroad fight on the Western
slope several years ago in which he
was the central figure. At the time
the branch of the Denver & Rio
Grande to Somerset was projected
Mr.. Porter was engineer for the Colo
rado Fuel G Iron company, and his
company had its eye upon the rich
coal fields of the Somerset vicinity.
Accordingly Mr.. Porter came to the
Western slope and quietly began a
survey toward Paonia and Somerset
from Delta. The Rio Grande was
not asleep and had its crew of sur
veyors in the field. But Mr.. Porter
Thanked the enemy, and by suddenly
throwing two forces into the field
one of which worked over the noun
tains from the vicinity of Glenwood
and the other from Delta, completed
the survey and had the right of way
cinched IL hours before the Rio
Grande surveyors completed their
lines.
Winning this race between the sur
veyors gave the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company the key to the situa-
tion, and the Denver & Rio Grande
was compelled to make terms with
the fuel company and allow it access
to the new mines.
Mr.. Porter constructed several no.
table engineering works. notable
among which was a 90-mile canal
which he built for the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company. This canal extends
from the vicinity of Sallda to Pueblo.
He was eminent in the profession,
and was often consulted by l. w. Nc
Connell during the course of the con-
struetion of the tunnel.
Mrs. S. S. Rhodes, the mother OF
! Mrs. johnson and Mrs. Porter, who
was in Montrose visiting the John
| sons, was called to Denver Monday by
the serious turn in the illness of her
| son-in-law. A sad feature of the
| death of Mr.. Porter is the fact that
/ his aged mother, who made her home
with the family, is Frustrated by the
nffliction, and there is but little hope
that she will survive the shock of her
| sons death.-Montrose Press.

bow which was made of yew; hence
the word. After the conquest the
name of yeoman. in reference to the

that of archer. The term. however.
was continued with additions-the yeo-
man of the crown, of the chamber.

considerable grants were bestowed on
some of them. In the legal view Il
yeoman is defined to be one that has
fee land of the value of 40 shillings Il
year and is thereby qualified To serve
on juries. to vote for knights of the
shire and to do any other act which
the law may require. The yeomen al

Starvation or Torture.
To the south and west Of Kodiak.
distant about 100 miles and forming

EnShrouded for a great portion Of

this lonely isle is an object of terror to

by the ghosts of Russian eXiles.
The natives will not go near the is

invade the canny confines. and there
are few men in the far north who have
the temerity to test the truth Of the
many and weird tales told Of this for

place assert that the agonizing cries of

the inspectors abstract dozen or so
of the incoming letters from the mail.
get the names and addresses Of the
writers and then reseal the letters and
permit them to be delivered.
The next move for the inspectors is
to visit the persons whose names and
addresses were taken from the letters
and to get from them the correspond
ence of the supposed fraudulent con-
Germ. With this the inspectors make"
case and either cause the arrest of
the dishonest persons or cause
fraud order" to be issued against it.
A fraud order is simply an order
made by the postal authorities at
Washington declaring that such Il
business is fraudulent and warning
the public against sending money to
it. After that each letter coming adj
dressed to that concern is stamped
fraud in red ink across its face and
returned to the sender.
