DIR. HoroPP ExoNERATED.

The Post made mention last week Of
the arrest in Salt Lake of DR.. Theo
Hotopr, formerly of this city, neon
nection with a criminal operation from
the effects of which the patient died.
The Herald Republican of May 8
gives an account of DIR. Hotopp's com
plete e1oneration through the confes-
sion of Mrs. Geisler, who admits that
she performed the illegal operation and
only called Dr.. Hotopp when she feared
the girls life could be saved
In a note to The Post this week DR..
Hotopp states that he was called by
DR.. Moormeister, who by reason Of an
other engagement could not take this
case, but they examined the case to-
gether, and DR.. Hotopp saw that the
young woman was in a very serious
condition and very properly made ev-
cry effort possible to save her life. The
real mischief, the illegal act, had been
accomplished long before Dr.. Hotopp
was called, and this fact the woman
responsible for the act admitted when
confronted by DR.. Hotopp and the Off.
GERS with the truth.
Thus DR.. Hotopp completely vindi-
Gated by The eonfession Of the guilty
party, was sst free except that h will

New Castle Does Herself Proud in the
Big Feed Given by Commercial
Club Tuesday Evening
GLENWooD SENDS ONE HUNDRED

The biggest and best of the banquets
given under the auspices of the Gar
field County Commercial association
was that given at New Castle last
Tuesday evening.
That the people of New Castle arr
royal entertainers has long been
known by manw of of our people but
the treatment of Tuesday evening ex
ceeded the expectations of the most
sanguine.
They called it the Harmony" ban
quet. and certainly there was harmony
enough and to spare. Good cheer AMI
good fellowship were everywhere in
evidence and there was not a thing
throughout the whole event to mar the
pleasure of such an occasion.
Promptly at 6 'clock special train
on the Midland left the Glenwood sta
tion carrying over one hundred passen-
gers from this city, nearly all wearing
white duck caps bearing the word
Glenwood, thus advertising thu
town. Reaching New Castle the crowa
was marched up the street to music
furnished by Glenwood newly organ
lied band under the leadership of Jack
t. Clair, formerly of the famous Dodge
City Cowboy band.
The supper was served in large
tent which was lighted with vari-col-
ored electric lights hung from ropes of
evergreen, while the tables presented
a very attractive appearance, being
decorated with carnations and bits of
green. At each plate was placed 4
circular entitled, "Facts," containing
an article on the Grey Eagle mining
district near New Castle. The article
was written by James E. Smith and is
sued by the Garfield County Democrat.
As a sort of companion to this eircu-
lar there was placed before each guest
q sample of the ore from the Grey
Eagle mine in order that the guests
might form some idea Of the producing
possibilities of the district along min
ing lines.
After the invocation by Rev. ]. NJ.
Dickey Of Glenwood. all partook Of
the elegant banquet prepared by the
ladies of the New Castle district and
served under the direction of Will
johnson of the Hotel Colorado.
Then ]. Fred Kamm, who by happy
choice had been selected as postmaster,
called the meeting to order and set
things to going. From that time on
matters were interesting and lively un-
til the close of the program at 1918.
The following is the program as car
ried out:

Strange Message Received This Week
Demanding Money is a Puzzle to
Mr.. Schwarz and the Officers
HIS SECOND EXPERIENCE

to think little about dying anyway,
and as 1 have never died yet, I some
times wonder how it would feel. You
see L try to be philosophical about 1t
and l am not one bit scared. Aman
only has one chance at dying any
way
And with that Mr.. Schwarz dismissel 1
the matter as though it were com
mon, everyday occurrance. In fact, IL
was only about two years ago that Mr..
Schwarz received similar letter de-
manding that he take 81 900 and de
posit it in little box at the fair
grounds. Mr.. Schwarz prepared a
dummy package and placed it in ac-
cordance with the instructions in the
letter and in the evening just as a
man was in the act of taking the pack
age from the box, he was arrested by
officers, who had been stationed about
the grounds to watch the fellow.
The fellow was given trial and coli
victed and. perhaps owing to the fact
that he seemed to be mentally weak,
he was given light sentence of six
months in the state reformatory. There
appeared to be no reason why he
should treat Mr.. Schwarz as he did, for
he had been accommodated by Schwarz
and given credit for goods he had
bought at the store and there seemed
to be no malice in his heart and no
excuse for the deed.
AS to the deed of Tuesday evening
there seems to be no clue, as M
Schwapz can think of no one who has
any reason for treating him thus. A
box was placed in the cinders as di-
rected, but it was not called for and
officials are at loss to know how to
explain the matter, and Mr.. Schwarz
seems the least concerned about It,
He is not conscious of having merited
such treatment from any one and IS
therefore content to let matters take
their natural course. But few suspic
ious characters have been seen about
town of late. and this makes the work
of the officials all the more difficult.

remained here, the most of the time
in Garfield county.
He was sheriff of Garfield county
two terms about twenty years ago AMI
since then has been engaged much Of
Iron company, much of his time in re
cent years having been spent at Spring
Gulch and Marion. A few weeks ago,
realizing that his health was failing,
he came to Glenwood in order to take
treatment and in the hope of regain
ing his former health. So far as known
Mr.. Thomas had no relatives in this
country except brother who lives in
Illinois. Some months ago when quite
i'll he willed all of his possessions to
his sister-in law, Mrs. F. E. Waters of
this city, except small tract of land
in Illinois, which was left to the
brother.
The funeral services were held We'd
nesday afternoon from the Presbyterian
church in this city and conducted by
Mrs. Agnes Moulton of Leadville, the
recognized Spiritualist leader of this
section.
Intement was in Rosebud cemetery
by the side of his wife who preceded
him about year ago. The services at
the grave were conducted by the Elks,
of which order Mr.. Thomas had long
been a member.

EX- SHERIFF THOMAS
ANSWERS THE CALL

Trehern W Thomas. former sheriff of
Garfield county, died in Glenwood last
Monday afternoon from heart failure.
1.-THE news of the passing of Mr. Thomas
was received with surprise by our citi-
zens, as it was not known that he was
i'll as he was seen on the streets as late
as last Saturday afternoon. Late that
evening, however, he called physician
who found him very sick man. On
Monday afternoon Mr.. Thomas, against
the advice of his friends arose from
his bed and started to walk about the
house but collapsed and sank to the
bed and physician was called who
administered powerful stimulants, bu.
they were apparently without effect
and the man soon expired.
T. W. Thomas was born in Ken
lucky 5s years ago last March If
Welsh parents. When he was quite
young his parents returned to their
native land of Wales and there Mr..
Thomas spent the days of his boy
hood and early manhood, returning to
this country just before he reached
his majority.
He was well posted in mining, that
having been the business Of his. ia
ther and other relatives for many
years. Young Thomas worked for
several years in the coal fields of Penn
sylvania and then drifted westward
and located at Leavenworth, Kas.
Here he was chosen by number OF
capitalists to visit Colorado and in
vestigate the mining possibilities OF
this state. After spending several
b months in Colorado he decided to adopt
the state - his home and has since

be required to testify as witness
when the case comes to trial.
This will be welcome news to DR.. Ho-
topp's many friends in Glenwood an
Garfield county, who from the frs
were un Wiling to believe that he was
guilty as indicated by the first reports.
Had it not been that the guilty party
broke down and told the truth DR. Ho-
topp would probably have been caused
considerable trouble through his eff
forts to save the young woman s life.

MAKING OF MEN
BEST BUSINESS
Senator DeLong Tells Y. N. c.
A. There Never Was Such
Demand for Real Men
A PLEA FOR THE BOYS

| One of the most interesting addresses
ever heard in Glenwood was that de
livered in the Isis theater last Sunday
afternoon by ex-senator Horace T. De-
| ong of Grand Junction who took for
his subject "The Making of Men"
The address was given under the aus
pices of the Y. NJ. G. A. and was replete
with practical suggestions upon this
| very important subject.
Mr.. DeLong, who is well known in
Glenwood as very clever speaker, very
clearly brought out the fact that the
greatest and most important business of
the world today is the making of men.
And we should all realize our RESPONSE
bility in this respect and feel that our
chief mission should be the making of
the very best men possible out of the
only material at hand from which men
can be made-the boys of today
According to the poem the blind men
who went to see the elephant had very
limited and very wrong ideas of the
| animal as a whole. The one who had il
by the tail, thought it like rope; the
one with his tarms around its leg.
thought it like a tree; while the one
! who held it by the ear, thought it like
a fan. A partial examination never
gives comprehensive view nor sat
isfactory understanding.
When it comes to children, especially
to boys, we are all too much like the
blind> men with the elephant. What a
boy is and what he is worth depends
on the view point. If he is quiet and
given to reading, he is "sissy;' If
he is ever active and on the romp he
is nuisance; he may be mothers iar-
ling; he may be fathers nope; put he
is never fully understood nor is his
actual value ever known.
The men of today were the boys of
yesterday. The habits they formed in
youth they have brought with them to
manhood. After all. as has been so well
said, men are only boys grown up. The
liar of the school ground is the liar of
the business world. The dinner bucket
thief is the convict in the penetentiary.
Character does not change because OF
age, neither does it change because Of
death.
The boys of today will be the men If
tomorrow. All the future scientists.
physicians, attorneys, teachers, minis
tiers; all officers and directors of eorpor
ations; all officers of city, county. state
and nation; all foreign representatives.
diplomats and statesmen; all poets,
scholars and philosophers; these and all
| other leaders must come from the boys
of today and tomorrow.
Let me repeat; the boys of today
will be the men of tomorrow, all the
future liars, thieves, thugs, drunkards,
| gamblers; all the law breakers known
| to high finance; the defaulters, swind-
lers, cheats, robbers, murderers; all the
cunning schemers who lay the plans for
dynamiters and aid and abet other cr..
minals; and all the defenders of crime
| and criminals; these and all other lead
| ers of crime and vice must come from

A few THINGS
THE SOLONS DID
And While They Were Doing
Things The Were Also
Doing The People
jUeGLERY

The convening of the Nineteenth gen
eral assembly will hardly witness COM
plete knowledge by anyone of the laws
passed by the assembly just closed. An
attempt to review all of them would be
foolish because they were passed in
of the individual bills know what they
contain. Between 10 o'clock Thurs.
day morning and the time of adjourn
ment Saturday night 2S9 bills were De.
livered to Mr.. Malone, secretary to
Governor Shafroth, practically all Of
these $50 bills passed both houses after
Monday of last week They cover leg.
1slative matters of every description
and include the tunnel bill No one
can imagine for a minute that the as.
semblv knew what was contained in thu.
measures when they rushed them
through at that rate. Only the test of
them IN the courts can be the final
means of determining what was and
was not enacted into law.
However, the statement can be made
that in the entire list there is not Il
law which can be said redeems plat
form pledge. True it is that two mea-
sures were put through which will be
claimed as pledge redeemers. But such
is not the case. The registration law
which was pledged is before the gover-
nor. but even its strongest supporters
aamit 'thst it was drawn purely for the
purpose of defeating the primary law
Under its provision the "big mitt''
and machines can register enough fake
names for primary. There is a pen
atty for voting them at the general
election. Thus they can register them
and vote them at the primaries without
violating the law and nominate whom
they please with them, and then purge
the lists before the general election and
they are law abiding citizens.
The bank guarantee bill that is be-
fore Governor Shafroth contains four
guarantee sections, and these sections
are all referred to the people under the
referendum. They cannot go into eff,
feet until after the people have voted
upon them. Thus, if the people adopt
one of these, Colorado cannot have q
guarantee law for over two years, and
it IS very doubtful if she will have one
then, because the initiative and refer.
endum provides that bill referred to
the people must secure the support of
majority of all voting before it is
law. With four different sections
being voted upon it will be difficult for
any one section to secure the support
of majority of all voting.
However. granting that one of the
sections will receive that support, and
granting further that both the regis,
tration and the bank guarantee pledges
were redeemed, there yet remains the
seven other pledges which were not re
deemed and which were deliberately
killed. During the last week of the
session, bills were enacted at the rate
of from so to 10Y at time. They
were read in unison, both on second
and third reading. One roll call was

Music by Rifle Band and Orchestra.
During the progress of the program
Toastmaster Kamm took occasion to re
fer to New Castle and her possibilities
for the future: and said he wanted al
that time to make public Acknowledge
ment for the people of New Castle to
Senator Napier and Representative Hor
ace Mann for the interest they had
taken in securing state appropriation
for public school building for the
town. One of the lady friend Of Ma
pier or Mrs. Napier piped out: nat =
the matter with Senator Napier?' The
query did not seem to appeal to the
audience with any great force and
there was but very faint ripple of
applause. Mr.. Kamm proceeded with
his remarks and introduced the next
speaker.
When all had spoken whose names
appeared on the printed program M.
Kamm announced his intention of call
ing on several others to make i'm
promptu addresses and then he said
"We will now have a musical selection
and then we will hear from Senator Ma
pier" Whether Napier was Z. the au-
dience when Kamm made this an
nouneement the Post is not advised but
certain it is that when the strains
Of the music had died away and Kamm
renewed his announcement neither
Napier nor his remarks were forth
coming. A lively scramble was made
and a hurried search for the missing
gentleman, but without avail. M
other orators being in waiting tho
crowd soon dispersed itself voting the
occasion one of the very bc>t even en-
joyed in the county.
1t is probable that the next ever
of this kind will be he'd in Carbon
dale.

Cow Needing.

The removal of weed cows from the herd Is doing more for the dairy busi- ness than perhaps any other one thing. So profitable has this line of dairy work proved that many dairy men who were about ready to abandon the dairy business have taken a fresh start. But the mere removal of weed cows is not enough. Their places must be taken by better ones. These are easily secured by using pure-bred sires of known milk producing strains. Records show that this line of work is also profitable. More and more dairy men annually are adopting it. Some men themselves do the work of weed ing and breeding; others rely upon cow-testing associations. These as- sociations cost little and pay well as COW weeders.
