gian violinist, and Madame Doro-
thea North. the famous Soprano full
ly redeemed the highest srticipa-
tions Of their friends in their splend-
i'd concert Monday night and the

the community is due the choir of
the First Methodist church for bring

try or Europe, and his mastery Work
Monday night was revelation OF
skill such as had never been heard
here before on that queen OF instru-
ments. the violin.
The program was sufficiently var
led in character to enlist the keen
est interest at all times and won
deserved applause from the audience;
which, to some extent, made up in
enthusiasm what II lacked in size.
AS violinist Theobaldi is the artist
par excellance and ranks among the
genluses OF music. One OF the violins
used by Theobaldi at the concert
here Monday night was made In
1882. ninety years after the discoy-
cry OF America. and is valued at
twenty-five thousand dollars. II was
the property OF Ole Bull from 1854
to 1875 and used by him for concert
work in nearly every city in the
United States and Canada.
Madame Dorthea North. by her
magnificent singing. charming per-
sonality and .amiability OF manner.
divided the honors OF the occasion
with Theobaldi. Canon City has been
visited by many famous vocalists.
but none of them surpassed Madame
North in the compass. richness and
control OF the voice She is marvel
lously beautiful and talented woman
and made an Impression on the au-
dience such as only a great artist
could do. Madame North was dis
tinct treat and the memory Of her

SETTING BUSY AFTER ii
900 FELLOWS HOME.

The people of Canon City are go
ing after the proposed Odd Fellows
home with a vigor and determine
ton that gives promise of success,
The matter has been energetically
taken up by the business mems as
sociation and encouragement Of the
proposition is being received from
unexpected sources. The local lodge
L. o. o. F. is leading in the move
ment to bring the institution here
and its members are leaving moth
ing .undone that will in any way con-
tribute to the desired end.
The city council unanimously vot-
ed on Monday night to furnish filter
ed water free of cost for a period
of i've years for domestic purposes
and fire protection, in addition to
an extension of the sidewalk and
sewer systems to the proposed site
on Reynolds Heights, concession of
no small value and Importance to such
an institution. A site of thirty acres
of land adjoining the city limits has
been selected and will be offered to
the grand lodge on terms that can
hardly fail to enlist its attention.
The property in question is admir-
ably suited for such a purpose as
is doubtful II the Odd Fellows of the
state could find a better location
anywhere within the borders of Col
orado. The surroundings are health
full and beautiful and the drainage
perfect. In fact, the tract alluded to
combines every advantage required
by the grand lodge and it can make
no mistake in locating the home on
1t. Within few minutes walk of all
the churches and schools OF the COM
munity it presents an ideal site for
such an institution as the Odd Fell
lows of Colorado have in contempla-
ton. tnr
Very little land adjoining Canon
City can be purchased for less than
eight hundred or thousand dollars
an acre. but the owners of this prop
erty have expressed willingness to
sell for FIVE hundred dollars an acre
IL the entire tract is taken. which Is
considered very cheap. OF the fifteen
thousand dollars needed to pay for
the land the Canon City Business
Mems association and the local lodge
of Odd Fellows will offer to pay one
third: leaving the grand lodge to pay
the remainder. The grand lodge can
not do better than give careful con-
sideration to the proposition which
this city will submit TO It as an In
ducement to locate the home here.

George King, the 20-year-old youth,
who is in the state penitentiary at
Canon City awaiting the sentence Of
death imposed upon him by jury of
Kiowa county farmers last July for
the murder of Peter (Felix) Jackson.
an aged rancher. was talking with a
visitor in the state prison. King will
expiate his crime some day during
the week ending, October 2s. They
have taken King across the prison
yard to the stone house in the wall.
There, in an iron. cell with only an
iron cot and wash basin for furn-.
ishings, he is living the last few days,
left for him on earth. At night tall
negro, who has grown gray in the
service, PAGES the lonely death"
watch. Sometime during the week
ending October 2S-King will never
know until the time arrives-he will
be taken from the little iron cell in
the flat-roofed, square building under
the wall to the weird death chamber

John w. Sheafer, at the direction of
jury of IL of his peers, will. be
changed by the neck until dead"
Even now King does not realize
that death is so near or If he does
realize it, ne does not fear.
THE time is pretty short now-on-
1y 26 days." he says. Harris who is
in the cell next to mine is having bad
dreams. He goes after I do. But l
don't dream. We get everything we
want to eat and that is one good
thing about being under the death
sentence. They feed you WELL"
King says that his mother is the
best friend he has ever had but she
has never written to him nor tried to
see him. When he was on trial for his
life in Kiowa last summer not one of
his relatives was there to aid or COM
fort him. He says he does not even
know his fathers name. His mother
married twice. her second husband be-
ing King. He did not ask her for
money to get lawyer. because he
says he was afraid his stepfather
would throw it up 20 her. and be
mean to her afterward.
And while King is counting the
days before his life will be taken
for the good of society. simple-mind-
ed John Fields. his tool and accom-
plice. who fired the shot that killed
Jackson and who split open the head
of the murdered man with an ak to be

Experts of the federal hospital serv-

census reports that make a striking
showing of the cost Of disease In this
country and emphasize the necessity
of more rigid enforcement, particular.

designed to safeguard the public
health. tuberculosis is stated to cost
this country in the value Of lives de-
stroyed. 250.oo0.o00 year and the
mere expenses in medicine. food. medi-
cal attendance and loss of wages is
$90.000.00 annually. says the st. Paul
Pioneer Press. The census reports
estimate the value of the $4,000 lives
lost annually from typhoid fever at
$2i2.000.000. The experts estimate
that the total loss from contagious
diseases. including tuberculosis. is
$75o.oo0.o00 a year. of which 40 per
cent. or $500. 100000, is preventable.
The cost of prevention would be a

for 1t said that the witchery Of archery, no
matter how poor the score at the cheese box tar
get, was great helper on Of Cupid, and many
marriages followed.
The writer has seen the archery game played
on several occasions once on the grounds of the

But the archery game not to last. It was

most ardent votaries were fain to solace their
grief with the game Of croQuet and its melancholy
dawwdling.
When one looks back to that day. with its lady
like amusements. one can but wonder at the
astounding progress made by the sex in out-of-

game, either. no more with blunted arrows. but
with revolver and rife; they play golf, SWIM pad
die canoes. play basketball even play baseball,
after fashion; ride astride like their brothers

their mothers-and do anything that any proper
young man might be permitted to do without the
slightest censure and quite as matter of course

It has not been very long ago-middle aged
mothers and fathers of today will recall the happy
happy time-when the game of grace hoops was in
fashion. Indeed, was quite the rage. though of
that placid epoch 1t must be said enthusiasm for
