HELEN F. DIXON IS DEAD

jail on vagrancy charges. Drink caus-
ed her death. Mrs. Dixon was II
years old.
In the days of her young woman
hood she was an actress. She played
emotional roles and essayed comedy
parts with equal facility. Her tenn
permanent which made her successful
on the stage won friends that her
executive ability made her able to
handle to her own purposes. She had
much to do with the election of Davis
H. Waite as governor of Colorado and
as "the White Rose" bloomed dur

short time afterward. She went into
oblivion in little while after Waite's
term expired and men and women,
who owed their appointment to sal
aried positions to her influence, quick

FINEST FISHING GROUNDS IN
THE STATE.

j. W. Haviland, state deputy game
warden, is here from Denver. to as
sist Superintendent Thomas Hamor of
the local fish hatchery to distribute
the fall hatch.
Last night Mr.. Haviland returned
from Pagosa Springs, where he took
two lots of fish, $4,000 in all, to be
distributed in Archuleta county
streams. This morning he went out
on the Southern with $4,000 fish for
Bear creek and Rico. By the time
the entire fall hatch has been disposed
of, an additional 100000 fish will have
been distributed among the streams Of
this section. There are two matches
per year, in spring and fall, so that
the number of fish sent out from the
local hatchery this year, will not be
far from two millions. This does not
include the fish distributed by the gov
ernment, through the bureau of fish
cries at Washington.
Mr.. Haviland said he was familiar
with all of the fishing grounds of the
state, and added that the people of
this section ought to appreciate their
opportunities for this particular form
of sport He considers that we have
the finest streams for trout fishing
anywhere in the state, and in a few
years, with proper care and attention
in keeping them stocked, our fishing
grounds will be not only best in Colo
rado, but equal to anything in the
entire United States.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF
Jack THE RIPPER"

ATLANTA, ca. Sept. 5.-Lying
with her face down, in the weeds
near the Seaboard Air Line railroad
tracks back of the Van Wrinkle ma
chine shops, another victim of the sup
posed black Jack the Ripper" was
found Friday morning by train crew
The victim was a negro woman. who
is yet unidentified. Her throat was
cut, but no trace of blood could be
found near the scene. There was no
sign to indicate a scuffle near there,
so it seems evident that she was mur-
dered elsewhere and taken to this
spot.
The place whore her body was found
is only 100 yards out of the city lin
its and it is the belief of the police
that the crime was committed some
where III the city. When found tho
victim had the appearance of having
been dead about six hours.
Two negro women who viewed the
remains Friday stated that her name
was Fanny, but didn't know her last
name. They said she lived somewhere
~ Bolls street, but didn't know ex-
actly where. With the victim uniden-
tilted it is a problem for the police to
obtain clew to the party or parties
committing the crime. A rigid in
vestigation will be carried on by both
the county and city police in the To-
cality in which she was found She
is the ninth negro woman slain in
the past few months by unknown per-
sons.

DENVER, Sept. 6.-Mrs. Helen F.
Dixon is dead. Not many years ago
she was the power behind Colorado's
gubernatorial chair. Tomorrow she
will go to grave in the Potter's field.
1t was in one-room shack In East
Denver that she ended her days and
there they found her last night. She
had been dead many hours.
Mrs. Dixon was politician in the
very first days of equal suffrage in
Colorado. Before that she was one Of
those strong women whose influence
indirectly directs. Men were swayed
by her magnetism, they accepted her
reasoning without question. Before
she cast ballot herself she dictated.
1t was in the councils of her party
that she met politicians Of the free
and easy type who set her feet on
the path that led downward to her
destruction. OF late years q good

successful organization of its kind
that ever existed in this country, not
excepting the Farmers Alliance. which
made itself felt in national politics
several decades ago.
The present convention is attended
by delegates representing member
ship of over 100000, scattered over
more than half the states of the Un-
ion. While the south and the west are
the best represented numerically there
is abundant evidence to show that the
organization is steadily making head
way among the farmers of other sec
tons of the country.
The National Farmers union,
though not primarily political Or
ganization, has never hesitated to
make its influence felt in national or
state politics where the interests of
the farmers were believed to be at
stake. Consequently, and in view of
the approaching presidential and con-
gressional elections, the discussions
and addresses of the three days ses-
sions will be watched carefully by the
politicians.
The proposed reciprocity agreement
with Canada will naturally receive at
tention from the convention, as will
also such subjects Of general interest
as the parcels post, the restriction of
foreign immigration, and the aboli-
ton of gambling in farm products.
Much attention will be given also to
plans for increasing the member ship
and influence of the organization.

CHICAGO, Sept. GA settlement

into nationwide railroad strike, is
in sight
The shopmen last night sent let
ter to President Markham Of that
road, in which he was informed that
he will be responsible should trou-
Bile develop. While the letter might
lead many to believe strike Is in
prospect there is every reason to be-
lieve the whole controversy will be
declared off for the present, either
today or tomorrow.
This is admitted by members Of the
employees system federation and some
of the international union officials.
The international labor officials. after
an all day conference, practically de-
cided that this is no opportune time
to strike owing to business conditions
and the preparedness Of the railroad
company and the lack of money in
many of the international treasures.
The arrival here today Of julius
Kruttschnitt, vice president and di-
rector of maintenance of way of the
Hartman lines, is expected to develop
a bearing on the Illinois Central labor
difficulties. The Hartman executive
who rejected the demands Of the rail-
road shopmen made Mt San Francisco
last week is believed to have had
talk with President Markham of the
Illinois Central on his program for
today. Mr.. Markham, on Monday, de-
clincd to meet the agents Of the new
