OF Colorado, took flying trip to Ashe.
vile, N. c., to visit his children, after
the adjournment of Congress, and left
here last night for the West. The col
onel is looking forward with keen
pleasure to visit to his old home in
Lexington, Mo-, where he will have a
reunion with his elder brothers, John
w, and Thomas A. Rucker, on the
fiftieth anniversary of the battle of
Lexington. The three boys were mem
bers of the famous Bledsoe's battery
of Raines' division, Prices army in
Missouri, and were engaged in the
three days battle of Lexington, which
resulted in the defeat of the Union
forces. Representative Rucker then
was lad of IA.
The battle of Lexington was one of
the most remarkable battles of the
war;" said Col. Rucker at the Willard.
THE Federals, numbering $500, were
intrenched in Lexington, under the
command of Col. Mulligan, while the
Confederates had a force of $4,000.
Our attack on the intrenchments was
not successful until we had fought for
three days, and our victory was due to
the fact that we had a large quantity

come from my fathers farm near
Lexington, and had been taken to a
factory near the town a few days be-
fore the battle. By turning these hemp
bales over we gradually approached
the Federals, and on the third day of
the fighting Col. Mulligan surrender
ed, after most gallant defense. If my
memory was correct, our loss was not
greater TINA 35, while Col Mulligan's
command lost in killed about 200, and
in wounded 300, The reunion of Con-
tederates who took part in the battle
will be held September Z, 8, and 8, al
though the battle was on September
IS, 10, and 90"
Representative Rucker was a pri-
vate. He served until 1862, when he
was captured and confined in Spring.
field prison for six months. The other
day Col. Rucker found a copy of his
parole in the files of the War Depart
ment.
There are few Of his colleagues who
are aware that Representative Rue
ker was in the Confederat service.
He was one of the youngest soldiers
in the army, Speaking of Colorado
politics, Col Rucker said:

New York, Sept. 3, 1911.
"Mr. Hearst is in Europe and has
been there for the past three months.
There is no one here who has the
slightest authority to speak in his
name. He might see fit to answer a
courteous telegram sent to him in
London, but I certainly would not un-
dertake to forward him a telegram
composed of ridiculous misstate-
ments, couched in boorish language
and conveying nothing but a convinc-
ing impression of the ill-breeding,
inaccuracy and unimportance of the
two individuals signing it.

In reply to this, Messrs. Peltier and
Pope, the writer's of the original invi-
tation, sent the following message:

concrete, for although they cost some
what more than wood approximately
$50 per dwelling), this extra cost is
more than compensated for by the ex-
ira durability, the saving in cost of
maintenance and insurance, and the
fact that the dwellings are warmer,
more weatherproof, and less sensitive
generally to external influences.
Why Renting System Failed.
The plan of renting or leasing the
workers dwellings, as provided for in
the act of 1908, has admittedly not
proved so successful or so popular as
was expected. Applications from
prospective tenants were few in num-
Der, and at no time has it been posi-
BILE to keep all the houses rented. The
chief reason for this seems to have
been that the houses offered no spe-
cial inducements over those which
could be rented from private persons,
either in construction or in cheapness,
while a certain amount of prejudice
appeared to have been created against
them because of the designating term
workers dwellings," They are not
unlike other houses in the same locali-
ties in general aspect and in rent
asked.
1t is quite common in New Zealand
cities for workingmen, especially those
having two or three in their families,
to sub-rent one, two or three rooms
rather than to occupy a whole house.
Generally speaking, this s.stem of
sharing the use of a house with other
tenants has enabled the average New
Zealand workingman TO live within his
means, as frequently would not be-
possible were he to rent whole house
for himself, unless it had an exceed
ingly cheap rent by reason of unfavor
able appearance AMI location. The
government dwellings therefore az
peared to be above the means of many
of those whom they were intended to
benefit
The plan of selling dwellings, to
workers on an easy instalimenc sys-
TEN promises to be mucn more popu-
lar with the working classes than the
former plan of requiring them to pay
rent. While more money is necessary
to meet the installments than to nay
rent, the workers can consider such
expenditure as an investment in homes
which they may evencualy own. The
present plan will probably appeal
more than the former system TO he
best and thriftiest class OF wOrkmen, |
and it is likely that the occupiers viii!
take more personal interest in the
maintenance of houses they arc buying
than in those which were only rented !
or leased. Moreover, the houses to lie
built under the new scheme promise to
be more attractive architectlrally and |
better fitted to the varying needs Of |
workmen than the houses built in ac-
cordance with the act of 1908 The
department of labor states that there
have already been over 5000 letters of
inquiry concerning houses under the
new act, and that at the next session
of parliament it will probably be nee
essary to ask for an appropriation of
about 100000 to carry on construc-
ton work.

Advances to Workers and Settlers.


In addition to this plan of construct
ing houses for workers, the govern
ment has had in operation since 1894
a plan of advancing to settlers, either
agricultural or suburban, money on
first mortgage of lands and improve
ments, and since 1906 the same plan
has been extended to include a sys-
tenn of advances to workers desiring
to provide themselves with homes, and
Offering first mortgages on their homes
as security. In 1909, in the state-guar-
anteed advances act, there were some
important extensions and improve
ments, and the advances to settlers
and workers were all put in charge of
a special department of the govern
ment called the state-guaranteed adj
vances Office. This office has power to
raise money for advances to settlers
and workers up to the amount of G1,-
100000 ($7299,75O), during any one
financial year.
Any person, rich or poor, may Sc
cure a government loan for the build
ing Of home, under the plan of ad-
vances to settlers, but such loans can
not be for less than 925 C$12166) or
for more than $4,000 ($14,6OO). Appli-
cations for loans not exceeding $500
($2433) have priority over applica-
tons for larger sums. Mortgages are
repayable by half-yearly payments of
principal and interest combined. They
may also be repaid in whole or part
at any time. Interest is charged at
the rate of per cent, reducible to Az
per cent provided payment is made not
later than fourteen days after due
date and no arrears in respect of in
stallments or other payments under
the mortgage remain outstanding.
Loans are granted on freeholds up to
three-f1fths of the value of the secur-
ity, but in the case of first-class agri-
cultural freeholds they are granted up
to two-thirds of the value. On lease
holds loans are granted up to three
fifths of the value of the lessee's in
terest in the lease. The loans mature
between periods of 20 to 361a years.

RATS EAT REVENUE STAMPS

FORT WAYNE, Ind, July 5.-The
activity of colony Of rats explains
the repeated disappearance of revenue
stamps from barrels of beer shippei
to Avila, north of this city, and clears
Up n mystery which has gwen United
States internal revenue officers in
Fort Wayne much concern.
The first complaint, received several
weeks ago, was that six barrels OF
beer in a railroad warehouse at AviIla
awaiting delivery to the consignee,
had been stripped Of revenue stamps
The government authorities and Dep
uty Collector L. Z. Sharp conducted
an examination. He was unable 70
solve the mystery and with much red
tape the missing stamps were re-
placed.
The revenue office was notifed OF
the second case yesterday, but with II
came the information that rats had
been discovered at the work. and ap-
parently had been attracted by the
past used on the stamps.

A GLORIOUS
FOURTH"
The Glorious Fourth Met With Proper
Celebration in Durango

The celebration was pulled off with
all the usual features of such affairs.
The noise Of the cracker and the tor
pedo began on Monday evening and is
still in evidence and while the blind
would hear the noise aud know what
vas going on the deaf could tell that
something had gone on by the litter
OF colored paper, the empty tubes
which had once been proud candles,
skyrockets and other Internal ma
chimes, which covered the streets each
morning.
AT the park yesterday there was a
crowd which is estimated at all the
way from twenty-five hundred to four
thousand persons, not including the
few who climbed upon high point
and looked over the fence.
The leading feature was the ball
game between the home team and the
Denver War Eagles. The score, at
the close of the game, stood to 12,
Ia favor Of the visiting team. The
game was a pretty good one in spite
Of the fact that the score does not in
dieate it, the Durango boys could have
put up a better game, we think, If
they had had herder who would
have rounded them up the night be-
fore and put them to bed and kept
them there until sunrise. This is not
true Of all the boys in the team but
.it is true Of several Of them, enough,
we believe, to have made the score
card make different kind of noise
had il been done. The Denver team
play good ball and play well together
but we have, away down in our heart,
q feeling that the Durango team can,
with proper preparation, beat the
game that they put up yesterday.
The relay race, a race Of FIVE one
half mile heats with a change Of
horses at each half mile, was won by
+. w. Sease, who also won the half
mile single dash.
There were several other events"
pulled off, CREASED pole climbing
contest. boys and girls foot race,
a sack race and other amusing stunts.
We have been unable to get the names
of the winners Of these minor con-
tests.
Today the second spasm Of the cele-
bration Is taking place, the Denver
ball team viii again meet the homo
nine, and it may be said In connec-
ton with this that the home boys
promise stiffer game than that Of
yesterday. Several races and other
amusements will bs seen.

AS he hung up the receiver the
trusty turned and gazed out at the
sunlight. The door of the office was
wide open.
What stirring?" the superintend-
ent, who entered the office moment
later, asked Gibson.
"A message from police headquar-

in Steubenville, and you are to hold
me for the police when | finish my
term here"
White stared at the man.
That's straight" Gibson said. He
added after a pause, "and you are to
put me under double lock from
now on"
White tainted. When he recovered
he asked why Gibson didn't walk out
while it was so easy. Gibson replied
that he thought of it, but that the
superintendent and his wife were so
kind to him that he feared his escape
