Woman, and What She is
Doing to Bless the World.

What have the women contributed
towOrd our TOWN.
Many, many things--aye, more than
can be enumerated Ia the brief space
ut command.
There was time In the history OF
the world, way back In Paul's day,
when woman was looked upon with
something Of disfavor That was an
unchrislian era. Today, the situation
is vastly different, aud instead OF wo-
man being inferior to man, she has
proven herself to be his equal, II not
his superior, In many of the virtues
that make for good citizenship
The women of our town have labor
ed earnestly and long In an endeavor
to MAINTAIN truth and soOriety In the
home, teaching their sons and dangb-
ters that there are cardinal virtues,
which are to be priced far greater than
ru6iss. They have recognized the fact
that home life is the foundation Of all
life, aud that municipal, state and nat
Ionai existance is pure only as the
home-iife is pure.
Tne women of this city have been
the silent force,i he uudercuir rent, that
has been wording SD effectively thru
the years, the result of which has
meant the u,herlng IN of social condit-
IONS that are extremely wholesome.
While IL Is true that woman is not
always seen, aud is counted out when
credit is being placed because of some
conquest, IL Is nevertheless true that
her influence, like a guardian angel,
has lowered over the destiny of the
people until she has made for herself
IA place in the world that none other
can ill.
The different clubs of the city, liter.
ary and otherwise are living examples
Of what woman is doing to broadenjthe
mind of her sex, and in broadening
touch other lives and cause them at
least to form some conception of what
their mission Is In the world.
II there Is any great question press.
ing for solution, the influence of which
is To effect the home.life, the women
Of our town are ever Oh the alert to See
that It is correctly solved. Thus work.

This is Thanksgiving Day now rocOg-
nizcd M a national holiday bv pro
clamation Of the President and the
Governors OF states. The first Thanks
giving Day to be recognized by the
United States was inaugurated by
Abraham Lincoln but 1t has been long
celebrated prior to his time. The first
Thanksgiving Day dates back to the
time Of the Pilgrims during one of
those New England icy autumns and
grew out Of suggestion made by one
Of the strict religionists that day be
sst apart for fasting and prayer. One
OF the members thought that there
Was enough fasting without setting
apart , special day for It and suggest
ed that day Of feasting would be
moro In order. This latter suggestion
was eladly acted upon and the PHI
crime we're aided by friendly band Of
Indiana who entered the forest and
returned with . great quantity OF
gams especially turkey. From that
time on 10 have celebrated the day
giving thanks for material blessings
and bountiful harvests. OF late years
u has taken ON . slightly different
aspect and Is made the day when fami'
lies are united and gathered around
the table fllled with the good thugs
TO eat that can be found. In this re
spect It shares equally with Christ
mas.
In school and college life tho day
marks the close Of the foot ball year
and the last struggle Of every school
closes ON this day. This is the day
when the laboring and business men
take day of for rest just as they do
On the Fourth Of July.

that is the men of this state have been
SO gallant aud so just as to give the
women the ballot. Don't believe it
when yon read that u majority of the

for many years she has been prevented
through illness from entering very ac-
lively in the affairs of life, she has
left an influence that will live and
spread itself like sweet incense around
those who have come in touch with her
beautiful life.
Margaret Ann DeLan was born IN
New York City seventy-four years ago

aLENwooD TEACHERS EMPLOYED

At meeting of the Garfield County
High School board held Wednesday the
following teachers were employed:
Claude F. Board of Indiana, prin-
cipal of high school,
Miss Margaret Schmalzreil of En-
poria, Kansas, teacher of English and
German.
Miss Jessie Neikirk of Boulder, sci
ence teacher.
Miss Anna R. Auten of Colorado
Springs, teacher of Latin and in charge
of gymnasium.
Mr.. Shepherd having rendered his
resignation as superintendent of the
alenwood schools, because he is debat'
ing between accepting a better position
that has been offered him or entering
medical college, the high school board
met with the board of district No.
and rendered the superintendency to
H. f. Huber who has served the schools
SO well as science teacher the past
two years.
A letter received from Mr.. Huber
later in the week states that he can
not accept the position since he has
made all his arrangements for entering
medical school this year.
Thus it will be seen that the high
school is to have complete change in
faculty this year with the superintend-
ent yet to select.
There are several applications for the
vacant position, but the board will
give out no information whatever as
to who will probably be Mr.. Shep
herd $ successor.

present time no one has been arrested
charged with the crime.
There is theory that the shooting
was done for money, Mores having
drawn his check the evening before,
Another theory and one that seems
more plausible, is that some of the
former or present employees of the
road, knowing that Mores has dis
charged several workmen since his ap
polntment. and placing the blame upon
hlm, resent such action, while others
think it was done by some one who
resents the placing of a Greek IN
charge of the section gangs ON the
road.
General Superintendent Miller says
that during the three wears that Mores
has worked for him he has found him
very capable and faithful workman
and one who does not favor his own
countrymen as against any others, but
that he works for the interest of the
company that employees him and seeis
to secure results without resorting to
favorItism as to nationality or for
any other reason He states that
about the time Mores was appointed
as roadmaster an order was issued to
this month another order was made for
a further reduction.
Under these Instructions Mores was
obliged to discharge several men and
it is presumed that someone, smarting
under fhe thought of being discharged
by Greek has taken this means of
getting even with a man who is in no
way to blame, but was only carrying
out the instructions of his superiors.
The doctors found that the shot had
not penetrated any vital part of Mores >
body and that his injuries are by no
means serious, being only superficial
wounds. When seen by Post report
er Mores laughed over the matter and
said he would be back on the job next
Monday.
When asked if he was not afraid to
go back up there and take up his work
he laughed and said, "Oh, no, | am
not afraid | have done nothing to be
ashamed of. I handled 500 and 900
men on the Burlington before | came
here and / have had many men on the
extra gangs and never had any troubi"
in my life. Besides man only has
my time comes | guess l can go. No,

Mores dismissed the subject and began
talking about the weather.

RACE JEALOUSY ASSIGNED

"When Greek meets Greek, then

George d. Mores, Greek, % years
of age, bright fellow who has been
in the employ of the Colorado Midland,
principally as extra gang foreman and
whose honesty and fathfulness had
so recommended him to the high Off
cials of the road that he was on July
appointed roadmaster for the western

while he lies on cot at the GlenwoOd

ed to Basalt on a tour of inspection as
required in his work About a mile
and quarter east of Norrie, while Re
was sailing down a heavy grade and
planning his work for the day some
fellow raised himself above the brush
by the roadside and took shot at
him, the load entering his back and
left side and hip and one or two of the
shots striking the fingers of his right
hand with which he was gripping the
handle bars of his machine.
Mores apparently ducked his head
and in doing so lost his hat which he
sought to recover by bringing his car
to a sudden stop and it was not until
then he realized what had happened.
He then jumped on his ear and started
down the steep grade, satisfied to lose
his hat if by making himself scarce
at that point he might save his life.
When the first flush of excitement
had passed away the pain became iu'
tense and the man grew weak from
loss of blood, but he retained his pres
ence of mind and clung to the machine
which soon brought him to Norrie
where he collapsed and was taken care
of by other employees of the road.

possible brought the injured man 30

CLOSE CALL FOR
GRANDE ENGINEER
Bridge Undermined by Cloud.
burst Gives Way Under
Weight Of Heavy Train
ALL TRAFFIC BLOCKED

DeBeoue, Colo, July 19.-Oper ing
wide the throttle of his engine, Eng
neer Henry Fahrmeyer won a desperate
race with death, safely crossing a
swaying wooden bridge which a mo
ment later was carried away by the
rushing waters of a clOudburst.
Three ears and the engine tender of
the freight train fell into the forty
foot gulch with the timbers of the
bridge, but the engine crew was safe
on the other side, while the other train
men in the caboose were saved by the
breaking of the train in the middle.
The accident occurred at Dry gulch
three miles west of here, half an hour
after Rio Grande passenger No. 3 had
crossed the nnety-fo foot trestle, and the
fact that the Rio Grande escaped an
other smashup, with heavy loss of life,
was due simply to the fact that it was
freight instead of passenger which
first struck the bridge.
The heavy engine no sooner hit the
bridge that the engineer became aware
of the swaying and trembling of the
timbers beneath them.
Fahrmeyer threw open the throttle
hoping to get the trarn across the
stream before the bridge fell. The en-
gine crossed in safety, but was brought
to a sudden stop as the bridge gave
way with the tender and ears. Halt
a dozen cars, with the caboose, re
mained on the opposite side.
Engine Henry Fahrmeyer is well
known in Glenwood, having once lived
here for several years. He is broth
er-in-law of Billy Roedman, former
resident of Glenwood and for a long
time driver for the Wells-Fargo com
pany at this place and later agent 1T
Aspen.
All the bridge forces on this part
of the road were at once sent to the
scene and a temporary structure was
thrown across the chasm in as shot
a time as possible and traffic was re
sumed about clock Thursday after
noon and trains which had beaomc
somewhat congested at Glenwood and
Salda will soon be moving in both di-
rections.
