LOSES FOREMOST
CITIZEN.

Denver-Charles ]. Hughes, Jr.,
United States Senator from Colorado,
died Wednesday. Senator Hughes
PASSED away at his home, 1900 Grant
street, surrounded by the members of
his family and few close friends.
His death was like the closing of a
book. He had been unconscious for
twenty-four hours and passed from
state of coma almost imperceptibly
into last sleep.
Only when DIR. James r. Arneill
turned and said quietly, He is dead"
did the watchers at the bedside real

J Hughes had closed.
Hard work was the chief cause of
death. No man ever drove himself
so mremittingly as Senator Hughes.
BY laborious effort, nimbleness of in

of personality, Senator Hughes had
made himself one of the most con-

New Colorado Grain.

Fort Collins-Professor B. G. Buff
fun, formerly in charge of the gov
ernment experiment station in Fort
Collins, has created a feeding grain
for stock which will revolutionize the
feeding industry of the country. The
grain is a cross between the Russian
spelt and American wheat. 1t has
now been perfected after six years of
experiments carried on by Professor
Buffum. The grain, which is called
emmer, is a winter grain, drouth re-
slstant, adapted to irrigated soil or
arid soil and so wonderfully prolific
that it will yield from 80 to 100 bush
els per acre. 1t is intended as bal
ance ration for alfalfa, and not since
the discovery of that remarkable
plant has such an important agricul-
tural discovery been made.

Born in Missouri.


Born in Missouri.
Charles j. Hughes, Jr., was born in
Kingston, Caldwell county, Missouri,
February 16, 1858. He was graduated
from Richmond College, Missouri, in
1871. He studied law in the Univer-
sity of Missouri from 1872 to 1873, and
received the degree of LID. both
from the University of Missouri and
the University of Denver.
General Sorrow Expressed.
News of Senator Hughes death
spread through the city rapidly. Gen
eral sorrow was manifest. Men in all
avenues of life had come to view him
as a friend and as friend of Denver
and Colorado. His charitable work,
of which very little was known, had
cndeared him to thousands, and the
general public, because of his integ-
rity, personality and power to success
fully cope with serious problems, had
come to know and esteem Senator
Hughes.
Would Not Stop Work.
The immediate cause of death was
pernicious anemia with complications
CT myelitis. A year ago he first be-
san to feel the effects of these dis
orders Regardless of the Fremont
tory warnings, Senator Hughes en-
deavored to discharge his duties as
the junior representative of Colorado
in the United States Senate and fur
ther undermined his constitution.
Soon Recognized in Congress.
Senator Hughes gained distinction
in the United States Senate because
of his ability as a statesman. Usu-
ally it requires a new member of that
body five to ten years to gain the re-
spect and confidence of his colleagues
but Mr.. Hughes hardly had arrived in
Washington before it was univer-
sally conceded that he was one of the
ablest men that had ever served the
nation.
The problem of conservation was
before the country when Mr.. Hughes
took office. He had made a thorough
study of the legal aspects of the
claims of the land department as well
as the results from the practical OPP
erations of the conservation the
ories.
Genuine sorrow was expressed over
the death of Senator Hughes by lead
ers in all prominent walks of life.

They are half a block from a liv-

society doings will be brisk
around there.

The Steeple Jack.

The successful steeple Jack
must possess determination per-
severance and ingenuity. He
must solve many a practical prob
lem in hosting great bodies aloft.
He must know how to fasten a
hook over the summit Of a skys-
craping chimney. He must have
the nerve to paint a steeple that
'sways like a pendulum at the
slender top. He must be able to
tear down, build up, gild, paint,
place electric wires and do many
another task that would be diff
cult enough on the solid earth.
There are many ways Of get
ting up on a steeple, and when
all others fail the man will tie a
rope around 1T and then, with a
coil on his back, walk round and
round it until the entire steeple
is covered with rope, and in such
case he has probably been round
it fully 300 times.
But a steeple is not the most
difficult height to climb. Straight
tall chimneys are the hardest of
all. There a man has to work
with might and main to lift him
self inch by inch from the ground
to the top. Sometimes the top is
300 feet high. When it is reach
ed a hook is placed over the edge
a pully is made fast, the swing
ing chair is hauld up and work
begins.
When the chair is near the top
it is easier to work, because the
ropes are short, but when they
lengthen as the ground is appro-
ached there is a tendency to
swing, and the wind gives impe-
is.
The steeple jacks safety de-
pends upon the kook, and until
he has raised himself alrnpst to
the top tits impossible for him to
